24 alternatives to Miniflux-CLI – offline-first Miniflux client

Hey Hacker News, miniflux-cli developer here. I use miniflux as primary source of things to read (including hacker news, of course), but in my case I don't have stable internet connection most of the time, so I did offline-first console client for miniflux, check it out: https://sr.ht/~xn/miniflux-cli/ It syncs all feeds and entries on start and after that you can read all the content offline (including "mark as read"/"mark as unread"). The project built on go, using bbolt db, tview and official miniflux api client. Some neat features - you can set text and…

Miniflux-CLI is a terminal-based client for the Miniflux feed reader designed for offline-first reading. Built in Go, it syncs all feeds and entries at startup, then allows users to read content, mark articles as read… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Miniflux-CLI – offline-first Miniflux client launched in 2021; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Hi, folks. As an RSS user, I tried Inoreader and Feedly, then ended up self-hosting a Miniflux instance on my homelab. A few months ago, I moved to another city and had to shut down my homelab for a long time, so I couldn't access my local miniflux. It was quite inconvenient. I decided to self-host my RSS aggregator on a tiny VPS or PaaS such as fly.io. However, Miniflux requires a PostgreSQL database, which may isn't suitable for a tiny VPS instance. So I built fusion with Golang and SQLite. It contains basic features such as Group, Bookmark, Search, Automatically feeds sniffing,…

    Hey HN! Aldin here, a helping hand to Voiden (https://voiden.md) Voiden is a free, offline, Git-native API client. Your API definitions, docs, and tests all live together. It came out of years of frustration: cloud sync lock-in, paywalled basics, bloated UIs, and lag on even simple requests. So the team built the opposite: an offline tool with no login, no telemetry, no lock-in. Just markdown and hotkeys. It behaves like code: local files, git branches, no cloud nonsense. Terminal is built-in, so you can commit, diff, and push changes right from the app. Docs stay close to your…

    I run a lot of Claude Code and Codex sessions in parallel. I was using Ghostty with a bunch of split panes, and relying on native macOS notifications to know when an agent needed me. But Claude Code's notification body is always just "Claude is waiting for your input" with no context, and with enough tabs open, I couldn't even read the titles anymore. I tried a few coding orchestrators but most of them were Electron/Tauri apps and the performance bugged me. I also just prefer the terminal since GUI orchestrators lock you into their workflow. So I built cmux as a native macOS app in…

    Author here. RMUX started from a frustration: I've used tmux for years and got tired of scraping output with grep and sleeps to automate anything. So I rebuilt the multiplexer from scratch in Rust, with a programmable layer on top. Two surfaces: a tmux-compatible CLI (~90 commands, your keybindings just work), and a typed async Rust SDK on the same daemon — stable pane IDs, structured snapshots, locator-style waits. The idea is Playwright-style automation, but for terminals. Native on Linux, macOS, Windows (real ConPTY, no WSL). Demos and docs at rmux.io. Happy to answer questions about the…

    You tap icons to create a wireframe, or do some visual brainstorming. Then export the image to share on Slack, Gitlab, etc. I wanted to work on neural net that interprets an imported image of a wireframe, to then manipulate it inside an app. Figured it would be best to first build the wireframing app. So I created TinyUX. It's released as quickly as possible this influenced some choices: - While created in React Native, it's Android only. - It's paid only (~$5). While freemium might make more sense, this was quicker to release, since in-app-purchases in RN is not trivial. First app I created…

    Hi HN, I'm Tony, founder of Cosmic (a headless CMS). We just open-sourced a CLI that covers the full lifecycle of a content-driven app from creating the content model to deploying to production to updating the codebase all without leaving the terminal. Here's what the full workflow looks like: # Create a project with an AI-generated content model cosmic projects create # → "A recipe blog with recipes, categories, and authors" # Generate content cosmic content -p "Create 5 recipes with images across different categories" # Build a full-stack app wired to your content cosmic build -p "A modern…

    Hi HN, I built this because I got tired of the Claude Code CLI hiding details from me. Recent updates have replaced critical output with summaries like "Read 3 files" or "Edited 2 files". To see what actually happened, I was forced to use `--verbose`, which floods the terminal with unreadable JSON and system prompts. I wanted a middle ground: *Full observability without the noise.* `claude-devtools` is a local Electron app that tails the session logs in `~/.claude/` to reconstruct the execution trace in real-time. *Unlike wrappers, it solves the visibility gap in your native…

    We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

    Hello HN! I wanted to share a side project of mine: a fully standalone app that uses a local LLM (specifically Mistral 7B) for document interaction using RAG. It supports a wide variety of document types and is designed to run right after installation. There are still quite a few bugs to iron out and many features I'm excited to add. Considering this is my first time working on such a project, I'm really happy with the progress and am learning a ton! The project is open source, so I please feel free to check out my work and leave any feedback :)

    Hi HN, We have open-sourced Voiden. Most API tools are built like platforms. They are heavy because they optimize for accounts, sync, and abstraction - not for simple, local API work. Voiden treats API tooling as files. It’s an offline-first, Git-native API tool built on Markdown, where specs, tests, and docs live together as executable Markdown in your repo. Git is the source of truth. No cloud. No syncing. No accounts. No telemetry.Just Markdown, Git, hotkeys, and your damn specs. Voiden is extensible via plugins (including gRPC and WSS). Repo:…

    This project started because I wanted to consume my RSS/Atoms feeds the same way I consume news on HN: a lightweight webpage with a minimalist user interface where I can comfortably browse interesting links. I didn't like existing solutions for feeds reader. Many of them seemed overly complex, most of them require a database and don't event support sqlite. For a simple feed reader, it felt overkill. What I wanted was an easy setup that didn't rely on external databases or configurations. My solution was to build a small CLI tool that print an HTML page from a list of feed URLs. I can…

    Inspired by the recent justfuckingusetailwind.com, I built a similar "love letter" to the Cloudflare ecosystem. I find myself reaching for Workers, R2, D1, and KV for almost every project lately, so I wanted to capture that sentiment in a single, slightly over-the-top page. It’s a simple side project, but the stack is: - Vite + TypeScript - Biome + Ultracite - Deployed (obviously) on Cloudflare First draft in Claude, the copy was drafted with Grok to get that specific tone, then I used Google's AI Studio to accelerate the build with touch up's in Cursor. Link:…

    Chrome now includes a native on-device LLM (Gemini Nano) starting in version 138. I've been building with it since it was in origin trials, it's powerful but the official Prompt API is still a bit awkward: - Enforces sessions even for basic usage - Requires user-triggered downloads - Lacks type safety or structured error handling So I open-sourced a small TypeScript wrapper I originally built for other projects to smooth over the rough edges: github: https://github.com/kstonekuan/simple-chromium-ai npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/simple-chromium-ai…

    We create minimalistic and secure container base images. All images only contain the relevant package (e.g. python) and its dependencies. We even created our own Linux distro, called MinimOS, to be in control of all packages and build a new version as soon as it is available upstream. As opposed to Alpine Linux we mostly use glibc. Images are re-built daily and we continuously add more of them. By using our base images you can easily reduce the number of vulnerabilities by more than 90% (compared to Docker Hub). You can use our images for free (the 'latest' line) here:…

    There are plenty of good tools for load testing such as JMeter, Minigun, and plenty more - but they all have their own set of options to learn. I built this one to support a simpler workflow where you just paste your curl request (or other cli command) after your `spam` config (literally just `spam -r 2 -- curl www.google.com). It's pretty barebones but I'm 100% going to use it in my day to day - figured I'd share it here if it helped anyone else!

    Hey HN, I'm so excited to finally share with you what I've been working on recently. One month ago I asked my audience what they wanted to learn about Websites, APIs and Servers security [0]. From the feedback, I've identified a few recurring pain points that I've started to address (and many more) in this new book. From theory to practice, you will learn how low-level network and security protocols work. How to configure Cloudflare to secure and scale your web applications. How to create serverless applications and which database to chose with serverless functions. How to optimize your…

    I built tinykv because I kept reaching for simple persistent storage in Rust projects but found existing solutions either too complex (sled) or unmaintained (pickledb). tinykv focuses on simplicity: JSON-based, serde-powered, with optional TTL. Perfect for CLI tools, game saves, config storage. Would appreciate any feedback from the HN community!

    tiny_coro is a lightweight, educational M:N asynchronous runtime written from scratch using C++20 coroutines. It's designed to strip away the complexity of industrial libraries (like Seastar or Folly) to show the core mechanics clearly. Key Technical Features: M:N Scheduling: Maps M coroutines to N kernel threads (Work-Stealing via Chase-Lev deque). Memory Safety: Implements EBR (Epoch-Based Reclamation) to manage memory safely in lock-free structures without GC. Visualizations: I used Manim (the engine behind 3Blue1Brown) to create animations showing exactly how tasks are stolen and…
