After about a decade of experimentation (NetNewsWire, Feedbin, Miniflux...), I'm self-hosting a feed reader I wrote myself, running on a free hosted LibSQL db.

- NetNewsWire was slick, but wouldn't work on my phone.

- Feedbin was excellent, but eventually I decided to do some subscription cost-cutting.

- Miniflux worked fine, but 1) I found it a pain to set up with remote hosted Postgres and 2) it burned through the Neon free-tier usage limits in a couple days.

So I built one myself and run it on a Raspberry Pi home server.

Made a great little weekend project. The feed standards are known quantities, so a little AI assistance with boilerplate goes a long way.

Deciding you need a new feature and just adding it is refreshing — e.g. I wanted a "read it later" feature like Feedbin's (something missing from Miniflux), and now I have it.
