What you give up vs Feedly
- Desktop client only; no self-hosted server component (relies on external backends)
- Mobile version (Fluent Reader Lite) is a separate iOS-only app
- No built-in article saving or read-later queue
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Fluent Reader Lite on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Feedly: pro fees for basic features and source limits).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
