Miniflux

Miniflux is a minimalist web-based RSS/Atom feed reader designed for speed, reliability, and a distraction-free reading workflow. It provides a clean UI, strong keyboard navigation, and automation features such as filtering rules and integrations.

Key Features

• RSS/Atom feed aggregation with automatic refresh and robust feed parsing
• Full-text extraction for many articles (fetches and parses the article content)
• Powerful filtering rules (rewrite titles/URLs, block/allow entries, auto-tagging, etc.)
• Reading features: keyboard shortcuts, search, categories, tags, starring/saving, unread management
• Integrations and notifications (webhooks and multiple “send to” integrations such as Pinboard/Wallabag/Pocket-like workflows)
• REST API for feed/entry management and external automation
• Multi-user support with per-user feeds/settings
• PostgreSQL-backed storage and stateless application design suitable for containers

Use Cases

• Personal or team news/feed dashboard to replace hosted RSS readers
• Automated monitoring of blogs/releases/security advisories using rules + webhooks
• Building custom clients/automations on top of the REST API (scripts, dashboards)

Limitations and Considerations

• Requires PostgreSQL (no built-in support for embedded databases like SQLite)

Miniflux is a solid choice for users who want a fast RSS reader with automation features and a stable API. Its simple interface, rules engine, and integration options make it suitable for both personal reading and monitoring workflows.
