  • Serving an RSS reader and a browser best way?
    I have miniflux https://miniflux.app/ as my rss reader. It is setup in a container and if I am outside of my home network I use tailscale to connect to the local network. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • Gripes with RSS after one week
    As a recent returnee to the world of RSS feeds, I’ve been enjoying the miniflux client [1] self hosted with docker-compose. Fast, cross-platform, not fancy. [1] https://miniflux.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Most used selfhosted services in 2022?
    Miniflux (https://miniflux.app/) - still figuring out how I want to manage rss/feeds, but miniflux came out on top in my first round of experimentation. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • Ask HN: What RSS Reader do you use in 2022?
    Miniflux. I'm incredibly happy with how simple and usable it is. I mostly use it as a PWA on my phone. https://miniflux.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • It's Time for an RSS Revival
    Two RSS submissions today, from different sources. Interesting. Haven't seen this in the comments for either: https://miniflux.app/ A very lightweight self-hosted web client for managing RSS feeds. I very much like it. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • It's Time for an RSS Revival
    Self-hosted Miniflux, dead-easy, just works. https://miniflux.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • How to rebuild social media on top of RSS
    I love Miniflux [1], but you need to self-host it - probably not something for the typical Twitch user. [1]: https://miniflux.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • Simple, useful apps that you self-host?
    - miniflux - the best self-hosted rss ever. Fast (due to spartan UI), yet extensible via customized CSS and tons of extensions. Integrates nicely with Mac's Reeder and Reeder app on iOS (which is an essence of brilliant UX/UI for me). - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
  • Breaking out my old Pi 1b. Anything lightweight I can put it to work on?
    I have my 3B+ running a Wireguard server (https://pivpn.io/) for remote access to my home network, and Miniflux (https://miniflux.app/) as I've long mourned the death of Google Reader. It has plenty of resources left for any future projects I want to throw on it as well. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
  • RSS service that doesn't suck?
    If you want to go back to free and selfhosted, look into Miniflux. Very lightweight and easy to selfhost. Offers both Google Reader and Fever API to use with 3rd party clients. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
  • Use RSS for privacy and efficiency
    Personally I use miniflux. Not app needed for iOS or otherwise. Its pretty nice. You can also host it wherever. https://miniflux.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • NetNewsWire: Free and Open Source RSS Reader for Mac and iOS
    I had been using Miniflux for little less than a year. If you don't want to bother with self-hosting, there's a hosted option. https://miniflux.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • 35 thought-provoking websites that will help you learn new things - AI powered research assistant, list of Rss feed readers, open links from the web in apps instead
    Https://miniflux.app/ - minimalist and opinionated feed reader. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago
  • eBook app that will stream from calibre-web?
    One really cool feature that KOReader has for self-hosters though is support for wallabag, which is a "read it later" service that you can self-host. Then you can access your saved articles through its web UI, Android app or KOReader. I highly recommend checking it out if you like reading articles. I installed it this week and am really enjoying it, alongside Miniflux - a self-hosted RSS feed server that can save... - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
  • RSS is on fire again, and it's all down to SlackOps
    You could give https://newsboat.org a try, it's a fork of Newsbeuter. I shared my Newsbeuter setup a long time ago here (https://blog.notmyhostna.me/posts/using-newsbeuter-to-read-your-rss-feeds/) but have since moved on to https://miniflux.app and Reeder (iPad OS, iOS, Mac). They all support the Google Reader API so it makes using any client very easy. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • The Old Reader
    Account but don’t sign in via google. Feedly noticed my account was a google account and kept trying to redirect me to googles login. Support wasn’t helpful, and only responded when I posted a workaround on Reddit/twitter. Anyway at that point I started looking for alternatives. And ultimately landed on the older reader and miniflux. Frankly I am still on miniflux. https://miniflux.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Goodbye, Feedly
    Or if you want to self host: https://miniflux.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Newsraft - a little brother of Newsboat
    If you're into self-hosting, I can recommend Miniflux. It provides a progressive web app so it's usable anywhere, and Newsboat can sync with it. They can also host it for you for $15 per year. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago
  • Ask HN: Do You Use RSS?
    Yup! I use Miniflux (https://miniflux.app/) and run it into Reeder 5 on my Apple devices. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • My open source NAS build (based on ZFS)
    Miniflux, A RSS reader server, supports most RSS readers through Fever API. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
  • Ask HN: What are you using for a RSS Reader?
    I have a Raspberry Pi running Miniflux [1] and a daemon running to send webhooks [2]. These webhooks go to an n8n [3] workflow that distributes the posts based on keywords or source to different channels - like Telegram, Twitter (my own feeds), and a custom made notifications app I'm developing.
