Miniflux
Minimalist, opinionated RSS reader built for speed and privacy
Overview
Miniflux is an opinionated RSS and Atom feed reader written in Go, emphasizing simplicity, speed, and privacy. It ships as a single binary backed by PostgreSQL and exposes a Fever and Google Reader-compatible API for third-party client apps. It supports fetch rules, content rewriting, and read-later integrations with Wallabag, Pocket, and Pinboard.
Where it falls short of Feedly
- Deliberately minimal UI with no customizable themes or layout options
- No native mobile apps; third-party apps required via API
- No AI or ML-based article recommendations or smart prioritization
- Requires PostgreSQL — cannot run on SQLite for simpler setups
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
