Replace Inoreader?
YES · one-shottableA single-user RSS reader with rules and alerts can be built quickly on top of existing parsers, though not with Inoreader's scale and polish.
Build me a single-user RSS reader with rules and alerts to replace Inoreader. Requirements: - Node + Express + better-sqlite3, server-rendered pages with htmx for read/unread and tagging without reloads. No build step. - Fetch feeds every 15 minutes with node-cron, parse with rss-parser, dedupe by GUID then by normalized link. Mark a feed failing after 5 straight fetch errors. - OPML import and export, so my Inoreader subscriptions come in and can leave again. - Three-pane web UI on localhost:4830: folders left, article list middle, reading pane right, j/k keyboard navigation, unread counts per folder. - Keyword rules per feed or folder: match on title or body, actions are tag, mark read, or alert me by email (SMTP in .env) or an ntfy.sh push. - Full-text search across all stored articles with SQLite FTS5. - Binds to localhost only. No accounts, no telemetry, everything in one .db file. - Out of scope: mobile apps, article translation, and third-party integrations. - README with setup steps, the fetch schedule, and how to import my OPML.
