About Miniflux
Miniflux is a feed reader built for reading, with keyboard shortcuts for moving through unread items and a layout that keeps the focus on the text. When a feed shows only a summary, it can fetch the original article, and it avoids features that the project considers noise.
It is written in Go and runs on a server. The project offers paid hosting at $15 per year for people who do not want to run one. Its code is under Apache-2.0 and is developed in the open on GitHub. Choose Miniflux for a lean self-hosted reader and FreshRSS for a larger feature set.
