Feedbin is a web-based RSS reader built as a Ruby on Rails application, offering a clean reading interface for feeds, newsletters, podcasts, and YouTube. It is the open-source codebase behind the hosted Feedbin service and exposes a REST-like API for third-party client apps.
Use cases
- read rss feeds in a clean web interface
- subscribe to email newsletters via a unique address
- listen to podcasts and remember playback position
- follow youtube channels without the algorithm
- extract full article content from partial feeds
- sync feeds across ios, mac, and android apps
- self-host an rss reader with docker
When to choose
- you want the hosted Feedbin service's source code or to contribute to it
- you need an RSS reader with a REST API for third-party clients
- you want feed reading combined with newsletters, podcasts, and YouTube
- you are willing to invest time configuring a complex multi-service stack
When to avoid
- you want a simple self-hosted RSS reader - the maintainer recommends yarr, Tiny Tiny RSS, or FreshRSS instead
- you need a lightweight single-binary solution
- you cannot run Postgres, Redis, and Elasticsearch alongside the Rails app
