NewsBlur is an open-source personal RSS feed reader and social news network with intelligence training, full-text search, story archiving, and native iOS/Android apps. It can be used for free on newsblur.com or self-hosted from this Python-based repository.
Use cases
- read and organize RSS feeds with a self-hosted news reader
- train a feed reader to highlight stories I like and hide ones I don't
- follow websites that don't publish RSS feeds
- read email newsletters inside my RSS reader
- search across all my subscribed stories with full-text search
- share stories with friends on a public blurblog
- connect AI agents to my feeds via an MCP server
When to choose
- you want a Google Reader successor with social sharing and training filters
- you need a self-hosted feed reader with native mobile apps
- you want to follow non-RSS pages, newsletters, and YouTube channels in one place
- you need permanent story archiving with full-text search
When to avoid
- you want a lightweight single-user RSS reader with minimal infrastructure
- you can't run MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch for self-hosting
- you only need a simple CLI or scriptable feed fetcher
