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
