Project mention: I Built a Self-Hosted RSS Reader with AI Summarization, Translation, and an MCP Server | dev.to | 2026-03-16
Existing readers especially fail at the "full text in-app" requirement. Miniflux has a full-text fetch feature, but you have to opt in per feed. FreshRSS doesn't use Readability at all — it requires users to manually enter CSS selectors for each site. Both can do it with configuration, but neither does it by default. You end up clicking article titles and reading through cookie banners, ads, and paywalls.

Nextcloud News works just fine, is free, is as biased as the feeds you configure and no more, does not (yet...) introduce/intrude LLM slop, is free software (beer/freedom) and has been around for a long long time.

news-aggregator
Self-hosted, AI-enhanced RSS/Atom news aggregator. Symfony 8 + FrankenPHP + PostgreSQL + DaisyUI. AI categorization & summarization via OpenRouter free models with rule-based fallback. Smart alerts, periodic digests, full-text search. (by tony-stark-eth)
Project mention: Two Weeks of My News Aggregator: RAG Chat and a Sentiment Dial | dev.to | 2026-04-19Source at tony-stark-eth/news-aggregator. Still MIT. If you ran the earlier version, a git pull && make build && make up gets you everything in this post — including the cache clear on worker startup, which you'll thank me for the next time you add a constructor argument.
