Miniflux is a minimalist, opinionated, self-hosted RSS/Atom/JSON Feed reader written in Go with PostgreSQL as its only dependency. It emphasizes speed, readability, privacy (tracker removal, media proxy, no telemetry), and simple single-binary deployment.

Use cases

• self-host an rss feed reader
• read rss feeds without trackers
• import opml subscriptions into a feed reader
• fetch full article content from summary-only feeds
• search across all my feed articles
• follow youtube channels in an rss reader
• replace google reader with a self-hosted alternative

When to choose

• you want a fast, lightweight, self-hosted feed reader with minimal dependencies
• privacy matters - it strips trackers, proxies media, and sends no telemetry
• you prefer a single static binary or Docker image backed by PostgreSQL
• you need OPML import/export, full-text search, and third-party integrations like Pocket or Wallabag

When to avoid

• you want a plugin system or highly extensible architecture - it is intentionally minimalist and opinionated
• you need a desktop or mobile native app rather than a web application
• you cannot run PostgreSQL, as it is the only supported database
• you want a feature-rich reader with social features, annotations, or heavy customization
