Overview

Fusion is a minimal, fast RSS feed aggregator and reader built with Go, designed to run efficiently on low-resource servers. It provides a clean reading interface, feed management, and article search with a focus on simplicity and low memory footprint. Deployment is a single Go binary or Docker container backed by SQLite, requiring minimal configuration.

Where it falls short of Feedly

  • Very minimal feature set; lacks tagging, folders, and advanced filtering found in Feedly
  • No read-later or article archiving functionality
  • No third-party client API or mobile app support
  • Fewer integrations and plugin ecosystem compared to mature readers

We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
