NewsBlur VS Miniflux

I use Newsblur, it’s open source and you can self host, but for the price of the service, I am happy to pay. There are apps for most every platform.

A few years (three at the time of this post) ago, I reported an issue I had in the (Open Source) RSS Feedreader of my choice, NewsBlur.

NewsBlur tries to handle this case by comparing stories and if they match up to a certain percentage of the content, considers them duplicates.

Here's the code that does the work:

I use both NewsBlur and Feedly as paid services, but NewsBlur at least is open source: https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur

Article on Animation Magazine (whose RSS feed I follow with NewsBlur).

https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur - personal news reader bringing people together to talk about the world. A new sound of an old instrument.

https://github.com/miniflux/v2 in case anyone else was also wondering

I see this all the time and while at the time I thought the same there's so many good alternatives these days, even better than back then. All the interesting and small websites I want to follow still have RSS feeds so I feel like we can move on.

The two I use for many years already are:

- https://miniflux.app (OS, Minimal, web interface and can be used with all clients that support Fever or Google Reader API)

- https://reederapp.com

And like with most multiplatform apps, it doesn't look native at all on iOS. I prefer my current combination of: https://netnewswire.com + https://miniflux.app

Both open source too.

n.b. I haven't tested importing 600+ feeds!

I really like miniflux it's PWA is very nice
