FreshRSS

FreshRSS is a web-based feed reader that lets you collect, organize, and read RSS/Atom feeds from a single interface. It is designed to be lightweight, fast, and suitable for both personal and multi-user installations.

Key Features

• Supports RSS and Atom feeds, including OPML import/export for migration and backups
• Multi-user support with per-user subscriptions, categories, tags, and settings
• Advanced filtering and automation (e.g., rules/actions to tag, mark read, or move items)
• “Views” and organization tools: categories, tags, search, and keyboard-driven navigation
• Full-text extraction and feed enhancements via built-in capabilities and extensions
• API compatibility for external clients (notably a Google Reader–style API used by many apps)
• Extensions ecosystem (themes and plugins) to customize UI and behavior
• Multiple database backends (SQLite for simple setups; MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL for larger installs)

Use Cases

• Replace hosted feed readers (e.g., Feedly/Inoreader) while keeping data under your control
• Centralize news and blog monitoring for a team with separate user accounts
• Automate triage of high-volume feeds (tagging, prioritization, and read/unread workflows)

Limitations and Considerations

• Some capabilities depend on extensions and external clients; the web UI focuses on reading/organizing rather than “read-it-later” annotation features.
• Full-text extraction quality varies by site and may require tuning/extensions.

FreshRSS is a mature, widely used RSS/Atom aggregator with an active community and a broad set of organizational and automation features. It is a strong choice for users who want a fast web reader plus compatibility with many third-party feed-reading apps.
