What is Reddit's opinion of Miniflux?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Para RSS self-hosted, uso o miniflux

Já experimentei o tinyrss e o leitor de rss do nextcloud, mas o miniflux é, para mim, exactamente o que procuro: minimalista, funciona bem em qualquer browser (ue tenha experimentado) e PWA.

I used tiny-tiny-rss for a long time, but after setting up my server with docker-compose, I switched to miniflux. It does not have an app as good as ttrss but you can start the webapp as an app. It does lack offline use, perhaps they add it sometime.

I wish that were the case!

Under the notes, it specifically states that because of how Reeder handles Fever auth, it won’t be able refresh feeds. Something may have changed on Reeder’s end recently that I’m not aware of, but I know the Miniflux developer has basically said it’s a thing Reeder needs to fix, not MF.

I use Docker containers in unprivileged LXC on Proxmox. If the DBs (mostly postgres) are not in use, they consume 0% processing and marginal RAM. So yes, I have dedicated databases, even for small services like Miniflux. Mainly for better separation of concerns and easier backup. Currently about 12 Postgres containers on a 8 Core/36GB RAM node with about 1% CPU consumption total.

Look into Miniflux. It's the right balance of minimalist and feature-complete. No apps needed, it has a progressive web app for mobile and desktop. It can auto-find feeds for you, and can handle a large amount of subscriptions (I have 355 right now). Newsboat has integration with Miniflux built in. It supports the Fever API which can be used with RSS apps, and you can save directly to things like Instapaper/Wallabag/Pocket.

Totally agree, here is the link: https://miniflux.app/

Also nice to mention that it has out-of-the-box fever API support. This basically means that all iOS/androis RSS reader apps work with miniflux.

Encouraged by your project I wanted something like that for miniflux (because I find it much more feature-full). As I didn't find anything, I've quickly created one: frontpage.

• it's much more minimalist so colour palette is limited and images are desaturated
• the theme (light/dark) follows the OS settings
• i tried to make it resemble a regular newspaper more

I think it looks nice, but overall - it's a cool PoC, but I didn't find it as comfortable to read as e.g. Reeder desktop/mobile app.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, let me know and I can add some more features and/or push a docker image...

There are many ways to do that. One great way to follow anything on the web is getting into RSS. I selfhost https://miniflux.app for that and use it with News Flash (https://gitlab.com/news-flash/news_flash_gtk, runs on PinePhone: http://linmob.net/2020/07/31/pinephone-daily-driver-challenge-part3-reading-apps-and-email.html). There are other RSS readers for phones and desktops with a variety of features, and not all require you to use a service like Miniflux or feedly (although syncing what you've had a look at across devices is a great feature once you really get into RSS). Also I will certainly tweet about the next PinePhone sale..

Ha :-) That would basically require me to write an app for you to do that. If you'd like to use the miniflux API, you need to write an app (or a script), and that would require some coding skills to follow. Original API has clients and examples for go & python, in which I'm not that good. I've written a simple app in javascript that filters out unwanted articles, so you can have a look if you want, but unfortunately I do not have enough free time to help you write yours :-)

I use miniflux and Readably on android. Miniflux lets you easily set interval. Readably doesn't have notifications yet, but you can use any other app that is able to use Fever API.

Un équivalent à Google News en opensource, ça m’intéresse. En attendant, je traine sur Reddit, et je me suis installé un miniflux.app.

Le problème, c’est la raréfaction des flux RSS, pleins de sites fournissent maintenant leurs données exclusivement sur Twitter ou Facebook, c’est très chiant pour faire une veille efficace…

So you've input "https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/e5dzv6/weekly_tipstricketc_thread" into the "Feed URL" input found here? And then wrote a custom scraper rule to parse the page? That can't be right.

Probably not the answer you were looking for, but miniflux is a PWA (progressive Web App) so you should need any native app to use it. This design choice is explained there.

Throwing in my suggestion for the self-hosting and minimal-minded for Miniflux. Uses PostgreSQL and runs from a small binary.

What you see in the screenshots is what you get (though there are now individual "✔︎ Read" buttons) but if anything it helped me curate my feeds to things I actually read or can at least be assed to mark read and is great on mobile.

I've been reining in my consumption this year (both food and media) and encourage others who may have stopped using feed readers with the death of GReader, like me, to consider new alternatives. For self-hosted ones you can even just use your own daily driver computer.

Since I run all my services via docker and had issues using tiny-tiny-rss (great tool and I like the Android app), I switched to miniflux. It's pretty easy to install and you can just put it behind a reverse proxy and run it in a subdirectory. https://miniflux.app/
