Replace Feedly?
YES · one-shottableCore RSS reading, folders, search, and saved articles are very buildable; Feedly's paid moat is polished feed discovery, mobile, AI features, and reliability.
Build me a personal RSS reader to replace Feedly. Requirements: - Node + Express + better-sqlite3, server-rendered pages, binds to localhost. - Feeds live in feeds.opml with folders; import my Feedly OPML export on first run so nothing is retyped. - Poll every 30 minutes with node-cron, parse with rss-parser, dedupe items by GUID then link. - Reader UI: unread counts per folder, an article list with j/k keyboard navigation, one-key mark-read, and s to star. - Starred view, plus full-text search over titles and content via SQLite FTS5. - Optional summarize button per article using an LLM key from .env; hide the button entirely when no key is set. - Keep read items 90 days, starred forever, pruned nightly. - No accounts, no telemetry, local-first. - Out of scope: mobile apps and feed discovery/suggestions. Adding feeds means editing the OPML, that is fine. - README: setup, where the DB lives, and how to export my OPML back out.
