What you give up vs Feedly

  • Generates feeds only; no reading interface, saved articles, or annotations
  • Bridges break frequently when upstream sites change their HTML structure
  • No authentication layer by default — publicly exposed instances are open to abuse
  • No mobile apps or browser extensions for capturing pages

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host RSS-Bridge 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 (Unlicense).
