Stringer is a self-hosted, anti-social RSS feed reader built with Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and Hotwire. It offers keyboard shortcuts, multi-language support, and a Fever API clone for mobile client compatibility.

  • read news feeds with keyboard shortcuts
  • sync RSS feeds to mobile apps via Fever API
  • deploy a personal feed reader on Heroku or a VPS
  • run a private RSS reader in Docker

When to choose

  • you want a simple, distraction-free self-hosted RSS reader
  • you need Fever API compatibility for mobile clients
  • you prefer a lightweight reader with no recommendations or ML
  • you want a Heroku-deployable feed reader

When to avoid

  • you need a hosted service with no server maintenance
  • you don't want to run Ruby/PostgreSQL infrastructure
