Feedbin is a web-based RSS reader designed for a fast, clean reading experience across many subscriptions. It includes organization, search, and optional services that enhance privacy and full-content reading.

Key Features

  • Subscribe to and manage RSS feeds with folders/tags and reading states
  • Full-text extraction for feeds that only provide excerpts (via an optional companion service)
  • Powerful search with expressive query syntax and saved searches
  • Automation “actions” to automatically star, mark as read, or trigger notifications
  • Updated-article tracking to detect changes and show differences
  • REST-like API for third-party clients and integrations
  • Optional HTTPS image proxy to improve privacy and prevent mixed-content issues

Use Cases

  • Replace a hosted reader with a self-controlled feed reading and archiving workflow
  • Build a multi-device reading setup using compatible third-party clients via the API
  • Track many sources and quickly find past items with advanced search and saved queries

Limitations and Considerations

  • Production deployments can be complex and require multiple dependencies and careful configuration
  • Some advanced features rely on optional companion services beyond the main app

Feedbin is a mature, feature-rich reader for people who value search, organization, and a polished web UI. It fits best when you can support its operational needs and want API-driven access to your reading data.
