Miniflux is still my jam

I’ve seen a couple posts about vibecoding custom feed readers.1 While I’ve vibecoded my own replacements for a few things, I’m happy to report that Miniflux still gives me everything I want from a feed reader. It’s fast, lightweight, reliable, and its keyboard shortcuts include Vim navigation keys. It’s got an old-school vibe, but I like that. I also like that I can throw a client on top of it. I’ve used NetNewsWire from my iPad, and I actively use Newsboat from the command line, though I mostly use Miniflux directly. My typical workflow: Load the Unread page. Use the j / k Vim movements to navigate the list. Hit v to open the item’s link in a browser tab. I prefer this to reading inside the reader app. When I’m done, close the tab, go back to (2). Simple and fast. I paid for hosted Miniflux for the first year, and now I self-host it. I recommend both options! See Kevin’s post, I “built” my own RSS reader app, and Luigi’s follow-up, If You Can Imagine It, Do It. ↩︎
