Newspipe is a web news aggregator for reading and managing RSS/Atom feeds from a browser. It supports multiple users on a single instance and provides tools to organize, search, and export your feed data.

Key Features

• Multi-user accounts on one instance
• RSS/Atom feed fetching with an asyncio-based importer command
• API to manage feeds and integrate custom crawlers
• Import/export feeds via OPML
• Account data import/export via JSON
• Search and favorite articles
• Detect inactive feeds
• Bookmark management, including import from Pinboard
• Optional LDAP authentication
• Light and dark UI themes

Use Cases

• Self-hosted RSS/Atom reader for individuals, teams, or households
• Feed management backend via API for custom crawlers or integrations
• Migrating feed lists and user data between instances using OPML/JSON

Limitations and Considerations

• Feed retrieval typically requires external scheduling (for example via cron)
• Database setup varies by backend (SQLite for simple setups, PostgreSQL for more robust deployments)

Newspipe is a practical option for running your own web-based feed reader with export-friendly formats and a programmable interface. Its multi-user design and optional LDAP make it suitable for small organizations as well as personal use.
