Since it's yet another RSS reader, it supports the basic functionality of almost all the other alternatives (managing feeds, reading, importing/exporting, searching etc.).

The plans are to support all 3 platforms (Linux, Windows, MacOS). You can try compiling it via `make build_linux` & `make build_windows` on the corresponding platforms.




I, too, would have appreciated slightly more documentation. Here are two questions I had, and what I figured out.

Many RSS readers are stand-alone GUI applications. I would have appreciated an up-front notice that this is a hosted solution. (Which is what I am looking for. I'd like the same view of what's read and unread on my different devices, thank you)

Different RSS readers use different storage backends. I dug through your code, and it seems to use SQLite, which is exactly what I hoped for. It's a huge difference in deployment and system administration headaches whether it uses an embedded or a hosted database.

Looks interesting! I'd also appreciate a prebuilt binary for Linux, but I understand that it's still early days. Paying attention :)


thanks for the feedback. i'll update the readme to reflect that.
