10 Open-source Self-hosted RSS feed Readers
A self-hosted web-based RSS feed reader is a software application that allows users to aggregate and read content from multiple websites in one place.
Unlike online RSS feed readers that are hosted on external servers, a self-hosted RSS feed reader is installed and hosted on the user's own server or web hosting service. This gives users more control over their data and privacy, as well as the ability to customize and modify the reader to their preferences.
Here is a list of our picks for self-hosted RSS readers that you can download, install and run on your server or a local machine.
