Project history and usage
Miniflux is a self-hosted feed reader developed by Frédéric Guillot with contributions from its community. The project presents itself as minimalist and opinionated: a small web application for RSS and Atom reading that chooses readability, keyboard-driven navigation, privacy, and a limited feature set over the larger social or magazine-style surfaces common in hosted readers.
Project history
The second-generation Miniflux codebase is written in Go, uses PostgreSQL as its database, avoids ORMs and large frameworks, and ships as a statically compiled binary. Its documentation and man page show both application-server and maintenance workflows: operators configure it with a config file or environment variables, run migrations, create admin users, refresh feeds, clean sessions, archive entries, export OPML, and monitor health endpoints.
How it is used
Its adoption niche is the self-hosted RSS community: people who want an independent reader after the decline of large centralized feed-reader services, but who also want a packaged daemon rather than a PHP or multi-service stack. The REST API, OPML import/export, integrations, Docker image, Debian/RPM-style packages, and paid hosted instance give it a foot in both personal server administration and small hosted-service operation.
