## What it is
yarr is a web-based RSS feed aggregator written in Go, distributed as a single dependency-free binary that runs as a desktop app or self-hosted server. It supports Atom, RSS, RDF and JSON feeds with SQLite or Postgres storage, full-text search, and a Fever-compatible API.

## Use cases
- self-host an rss reader
- aggregate rss and atom feeds in one place
- read feeds on mobile via fever-compatible apps
- import opml subscriptions and back them up
- follow podcasts and youtube channels in a feed reader
- run a lightweight feed server on a raspberry pi

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, single-binary rss server with no dependencies
- you need cross-platform desktop or self-hosted feed reading
- you want full-text search and a quiet, responsive web ui
- you use third-party mobile readers via the fever api

## When to avoid
- you need team collaboration or multi-user feed sharing
- you want heavy extensions, filtering rules, or plugin ecosystems
- you prefer a hosted service rather than running your own server
