CommaFeed is a self-hosted RSS feed reader inspired by Google Reader, built with Quarkus (Java) and React/TypeScript. It supports thousands of users and millions of feeds, offers a REST API plus Fever and Google Reader API compatibility, and can compile to native code for fast startup.

Use cases

  • self-host an rss reader to replace google reader
  • aggregate news feeds in one place
  • sync rss subscriptions with mobile apps via fever api
  • import opml feed lists and manage thousands of feeds
  • host a private rss reader for my family or team
  • get push notifications for new articles

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted, privacy-respecting Google Reader alternative
  • you need multi-user support with millions of feeds
  • you want native mobile app compatibility via Fever/Google Reader APIs
  • you prefer a lightweight native binary or Docker deployment

When to avoid

  • you only want a hosted service with zero setup (though a public instance exists)
  • you need a desktop-native offline reader
  • you want a non-Java stack to hack on
