## What it is
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
