  4. n8n

    Fair-code workflow automation platform with native AI capabilities. Combine visual building with custom code, self-host or cloud, 400+ integrations.

    I have a Raspberry Pi running Miniflux [1] and a daemon running to send webhooks [2]. These webhooks go to an n8n [3] workflow that distributes the posts based on keywords or source to different channels - like Telegram, Twitter (my own feeds), and a custom made notifications app I'm developing.

  5. Miniflux

    Minimalist and opinionated feed reader

  6. Feeder

    I use Feeder [0], downloaded from fdroid.

    [0]: https://gitlab.com/spacecowboy/Feeder

    Sadly, I accumulate much more feeds than I read. Just like podcasts. I subscribe to too much of them. Download a lot of episodes, and I do not listen to them at all.

    Does anyone know how to prioritize?

  7. news

    📰 RSS/Atom feed reader

    I'm using Nextcloud already and that has an officially supported RSS daemon app[1]. I mainly use it with this really good Android client[2] (that's on F-Droid) that supports connecting to it (and Miniflux it appears, which I noticed a bunch of mentions in this thread of).

  10. FeedReader

    Modern desktop application designed to complement existing web-based RSS accounts. (by 39aldo39)

  11. bubo-rss

    An irrationally minimalist, static feed reader (RSS, Atom, JSON) you can instantly deploy on Netlify, Glitch or your own server.

    I use https://kevinfiol.com/reader/

    It's a personal fork of Bubo Reader by George Mandis. It's essentially just a Node.js script that fetches the latest stories from some RSS feeds I have stored in JSON, and then deploys a static site to Github Pages as a single HTML file. I use Github Actions to have it automatically run every 2 hours.

  13. elfeed

    An Emacs web feeds client

  14. feedo

    An RSS/Atom feed reader that runs on your laptop or on almost any free hosting provider or server.

    Yet another shameless plug of my feed reader side project: https://github.com/msurdi/feedo

    Not many features, and nothing super special, but I use it daily since I started it and works fine for myself. I'm also trying to make it as easy as possible to run, either on your own laptop or on any hosting provider.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
