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.
