Fusion is a lightweight RSS feed aggregator and reader designed to be easy to self-host while still feeling modern and fast. It supports common feed formats and provides a responsive web UI suitable for desktop and mobile use.
Key Features
- Aggregates and reads RSS, Atom, and JSON Feed sources
- Feed sniffing (automatic discovery) for adding feeds
- Grouping, bookmarking, and full-text search across items
- OPML import/export for migrating between readers
- Responsive UI with dark mode, keyboard shortcuts, and PWA support
- Internationalization with multiple UI languages
- Simple deployment via single binary or Docker, using SQLite for storage
Use Cases
- Run a personal or family RSS reader to follow news, blogs, and releases
- Replace hosted feed readers with a low-maintenance self-managed alternative
- Maintain curated topic-based feed groups for research or monitoring
Limitations and Considerations
- Uses SQLite as the primary datastore, which may not fit very large multi-user deployments
Fusion focuses on being minimal, efficient, and straightforward to deploy while still providing essential reader features. It is a good fit for users who want a fast, modern RSS experience without heavy infrastructure requirements.
