I Built a Self-Hosted RSS Reader with AI Summarization, Translation, and an MCP Server
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.

I Stopped Reading Newsletters. Here's What I Use Instead.
RSS didn't die, though. Feedly picked up 8 million new users in the weeks after Reader shut down. Inoreader, Miniflux, FreshRSS, NewsBlur, and dozens of others filled the gap. Feedly alone now has over 15 million registered users.

What I self host
Miniflux is a "minimalist and opinionated feed reader". I host my own instance at https://rss.fredrikmeyer.net/ It is very easy to set up using Docker, see the documentation.

A deep dive into the RSS feed reader landscape
I use https://miniflux.app and use that to sync NetNewsWire across my devices and across RSS readers. I'm using Reeder on my iPad, Miniflux on the web and sometimes NetNewsWire on my Mac.

Reading RSS content is a skilled activity
My problem with RSS is that I tend to subscribe to too many things and then it's too much. Also I wanted a solution that was free or self hosted, but I realized it's much better if someone manages the complexity for me, so I just ended up going with the paid hosting for miniflux (https://miniflux.app/).
Now I've just subscribed to a few things I care about, I open the website from time to time, quickly mark as "read" stuff I'm not interested in, and when I have more time I just go through everything that is still unread, because it's been "filtered in". Seems to work!

A sysadmin's rant about feed readers and crawlers (2022)
> If you pull the feed, don't pull the posts. If you pull the posts, don't pull the feed. If you pull both, you're missing the whole point of having an aggregated feed!
In some cases the reader should fetch both the feed and the pages. Unfortunately, none do

Ask HN: Which RSS reader do you use?
Self-hosted Miniflux, https://miniflux.app/
Super minimal, I have MANY feeds, and it just does the thing very well.
