tinyfeed is a small command-line tool that generates a static HTML page from a collection of feeds. It supports RSS, Atom and JSON feeds and produces an accessible, lightweight single-page output with optional themes and templates.

Key Features

  • Fetches and aggregates RSS, Atom and JSON feeds into a single static HTML page
  • CLI-first design with no database and no config file required
  • Highly customizable output with external stylesheets and template support
  • Dark/light theme that follows system preference and multiple demo skins
  • Daemon mode and scheduling-friendly operation for periodic regeneration
  • Produces fully static, accessible HTML suitable for simple hosting or embedding

Use Cases

  • Host a personal aggregated feed page listing favorite blogs, news, and projects
  • Publish a curated feed-driven page or link list for a community or team
  • Generate a lightweight public-facing feed index that can be updated by cron or systemd

Limitations and Considerations

  • Static output means no per-user state (read markers, accounts, per-user feeds)
  • No built-in server-side search or pagination; large numbers of feeds may affect generation time
  • Intended for simple publishing rather than as a full-featured feed reader or multi-user platform

tinyfeed is suited for users who want a minimal, maintainable feed aggregation page without running a full application server. Its simple CLI and template support make it easy to integrate into existing automation or hosting workflows.
