    I wrote Miniflux 7 years ago for my own needs. Rewritten in Golang in 2017. The project still active and continue to receive contributions. There is always something to improve :)

      I like this but managing the database myself isn’t ideal. Any reason why an embedded database isn’t used?

        Miniflux is excellent! No BS, clean and snappy interface.

        I’m using it for my project that automatically searches for certain queires on github/hackernews/twitter/reddit/pinboard and puts the results in atom feeds. Kinda like Google Alerts, but actually useful and consumed through a functional RSS interface. I needed to slightly modify the Miniflux frontend for that (making it even more compact) – and it was pleasantly quick and clear (I had no prior Go experience either).

        Thanks for your work!

            I have started using it yesterday. Moved away from Innoreader, mainly because I wanted to own the data and not worry about it in future, specifically manage starred articles etc… Miniflux is extremely easy to setup, especially if you’re using docker. I always run Postgres instances anyways, so it integrated well. For people who question db, it’s an advantage having a database like PostgreSQL. And I like that it’s ‘opinionated’ - tech stack and implementation perfectly considered. @0xfg - many many thanks for your work on this.

              Hey man, I’ve been using Miniflux for years. Thanks for the awesome work! I really got excited when you rewrote it in Go :)

              Eventually I switched to FreshRSS because I can choose a SQLite database there. Together with docker/kubernetes this makes the setup slim and easy. I miss Miniflux’s straightforward user-interface, though.

              I worked for a hosting company that use OpenStack (https://www.openstack.org/marketplace/public-clouds/). Long story short, it’s used by a lot of companies, I have been to a couple of OpenStack Summit conferences and they are thousands of people there.

              However, it’s not simple, very complex to maintain, hard to troubleshoot, upgrading to a new version is a pain in the ass, the number of projects under the OpenStack foundation could be overwhelming.

                  I will improve my open source projects because I got a lot of feedback from people:

                  • Kanboard an alternative to Trello or can be use as a kanban board.
                  • Miniflux, a minimalist RSS reader
