CommaFeed

Self-hosted RSS reader inspired by Google Reader — organize, read and subscribe to your favorite feeds on your own server.

Open source alternative to:

CommaFeed is a self-hosted RSS reader inspired by Google Reader, built on Quarkus and React/TypeScript. It offers a familiar three-pane reading experience with four layout options, light and dark themes, full keyboard shortcuts, RTL support and translations in 25+ languages. The interface is fully responsive and works equally well on mobile and desktop, making it a solid drop-in for anyone who still misses Google Reader's workflow.

Under the hood, CommaFeed packs a lot of power: OPML import and export, a REST API, a Fever-compatible API for native mobile apps, automatic mark-as-read rules, push notifications, and deep customisation through custom CSS and JavaScript. It scales to thousands of users and millions of feeds, supports H2 (embedded), PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB, and can be compiled to native code via GraalVM for fast startup and low memory usage. There is also a companion browser extension and a free public instance at commafeed.com for users who don't want to self-host.

CommaFeed is Apache 2.0 licensed, has over 3,500 GitHub stars, and is actively maintained. Docker images are published automatically, and one-click hosting is available through PikaPods.
