I really like the idea! At some point I put up a miniflux instance and it has surprisingly been a breath of fresh air for my content consumption. What miniflux and my setup lacks is a way to retrieve stuff I read and this OpenOrb might fit the use case... I will try it out!

What do you mean by "retrieve stuff I read"?
sometimes I stumble into stuff I’m sure I’ve already read something about in an article but if I didn’t bookmarked or made a note of it it’s very hard to find again (miniflux flushes content after a certain age)
You can set the age to arbitrary points in the past, if storage isn't a concern. I've actually found miniflux's search feature fairly solid for dredging up old stuff I've read!
I've set the following in Miniflux to stop it deleting things:

CLEANUP_ARCHIVE_READ_DAYS=-1 CLEANUP_ARCHIVE_UNREAD_DAYS=-1

Ah, I see, thanks for the explanation! I'm asking because I'm working on a similar project, which allows to both search and save blog posts permanently.
Speaking for me personally, I've always felt "search my history" should be implemented in the browser, not as an external tool. "Search and save blog posts" seems like a subset of the real problem.
