CommaFeed

CommaFeed is a self-hosted web-based RSS/Atom reader designed as a lightweight alternative to hosted feed readers. It provides a clean, responsive interface for reading and organizing subscriptions, with features focused on speed, usability, and compatibility with common feed workflows.

Key Features

• RSS and Atom feed subscription management with folders/tags
• OPML import/export for migrating subscriptions between readers
• Responsive web UI optimized for reading large volumes of items
• Feed parsing with automatic refresh/scheduling and unread management
• Filtering/searching and keyboard shortcuts to speed up triage
• Full-text content extraction for truncated feeds (when supported by extractor rules)
• Multi-user support for shared server deployments
• REST API for integrations and third-party clients

Use Cases

• Replace hosted feed readers (e.g., Feedly/Inoreader) while keeping a web UI
• Centralize feed monitoring for blogs, news, release notes, and security advisories
• Run a multi-user RSS service for a small team or household

Limitations and Considerations

• Full-text extraction quality varies by site and may require rule updates
• Not intended as an offline-first/native mobile app; primary interface is the web UI

CommaFeed is a practical choice if you want a straightforward RSS/Atom reader with migration-friendly OPML support and a focus on fast daily reading. It is especially suitable for users who prefer a simple browser-based workflow and optional API access for integrations.
