Lighthouse – Inbox Zero for RSS (RSS Reader with a New Twist on the UI)

What it does

More than a feed reader, a content curation system to find the top articles of all sources

A ton of articles are published every day, but only a tiny fraction of them expand your knowledge. The rest is useless to you. Lighthouse helps finding that tiny fraction. Finding the right sources is often quite difficult. The set of preselected sources for different topics is a good starting point, and over time more sources can be discovered and added. The most reliable update mechanism are RSS feeds, but not every source provides them. To allow as many sources as possible, it's also possible to subscribe via newsletter and website. Usually only a fraction of the content a source publishes is interesting. The rest must be weeded out. The inbox exists to deal with that. It is a review…from lighthouseapp.io

In the maker’s words, at launch

I’ve been reading HackerNews for a long time, and often the upvoted articles are from great blogs I want to subscribe to. That’d be the job of an RSS feed reader. However, in my case, being subscribed to a blog doesn’t mean I want to read everything from that blog. I like to filter content before it gets into my…

  Lighthouse RSS Reader (Omnivore alternative, free newsletter support)2024 · lighthouseapp.io · ▲8

  Hi, I've been building Lighthouse for the better part of a year, and now seems to be a good opportunity to do a Show HN. Lighthouse is a RSS feed reader, and also supports subscribing to newsletters. It works really well for personal content curation, because differently from most readers, new content first arrives in the Lighthouse Inbox, where articles are either bookmarked (to move to library) or archived. The assumption is that even if you subscribed to a feed or newsletter, it doesn't mean you want to read everything they post. So an additional curation step helps keeping unwanted…

  RSS Brain2022 · rssbrain.com · ▲139

  I wrote an RSS reader called RSS Brain recently. The motivate is the current RSS readers either don't sort articles by priority, which makes it hard to read posts from HackerNews and Reddit, or sort it with some "smart" algorithm which I don't trust. I also like the Google News feature that can show related story from different source, but the sources are not configurable and the algorithm is not transparent either. So with RSS Brain, I implemented these features: * Recommend related articles from the feeds of your choice. It's backed by ElasticSearch and the algorithm is described on RSS…

  I built a fast RSS reader in ZigDec 2025 · github.com · ▲90

  Well, I certainly tried. I had to, because it has a certain quirk inspired by "digital minimalism." The quirk is that it only allows you to fetch new articles once per day (or X days). Why? Let me explain... I want my internet content to be like a boring newspaper. You get it in the morning, and you read the whole thing while sipping your morning coffee, and then you're done! No more new information for today. No pings, no alerts, peace, quiet, zen, etc. But with that, I needed it to be able to fetch all articles from my hundreds of feeds in one sitting. This is where Zig and curl…
