I bit of out-topic, but the best recommendation that I had here in HN was definitely the FreshRSS [1].

Yes, the design sounds _phpish_, but on Docker it's so reliable and fast, that I feel that I am in some sort of "final version of the software" and not needing anything else or enhancements, like WinRar, Notepad.exe, Winamp, Nero Burning ROM, Windows XP, etc.

I do not know if others have the same feeling about a software that works so great, that _any_ update will be a downgrade given the high level of contentment and satisfaction.

I can second the recommendation for FreshRSS- it's incredibly utilitarian and I have no complaints. I've been using it for about 4 years. It's how I came to this thread!

Couldn't agree more about the "final version" sentiment: my self hosted instance sat there for the first two years, untouched, working flawlessly and used daily. It's only when I switched server hardware that I actually performed an upgrade to the latest version, pleasantly surprised to find that there were no major changes (minor QoL patches only) and everything just worked.

Agree, i’ve also been running it for years. It’s stable and has great features like CSS selectors, filtering, sharing as rss feed, etc.
