Rufus – a free, open source RSS reader

In plain words

Rufus is a free, open source RSS reader launched in 2018. It helps users aggregate and read content from multiple RSS feeds in one place.

Being open source, users can review the code, modify it, and contribute improvements.

  I made an open source Mailchimp RSS-to-Email alternative2024 · github.com · ▲109

  Hi all! Excited to share rss2newsletter after completing dev work for the initial release. The idea for this project came out of necessity, as I wanted to share my articles via email newsletter. I was looking for a super minimal, lightweight, and open source solution, and when none existed, I decided to create one.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
