## What it is
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
