Although I've been an Inoreader user over the last few years, this year I switched to Miniflux. I felt like features/cost ratio for Inoreader finally tipped away from what I was interested in paying. Migrating to Miniflux was genuinely very easy-- spin up the docker compose, export OPML from Inoreader, import OPML to Miniflux. I use tsdproxy and tailscale funnels to get access to the web endpoint.

While I started out just using the webapp, I quickly discovered that there large number of Miniflux compatible applications. I eventually settled on:

- Read You on my Android Phone and Tablet https://github.com/ReadYouApp/ReadYou

- Reactflux (web) on my windows laptop https://github.com/electh/ReactFlux

- RSSGuard on my linux desktop https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard

- Reeder classic on iPad (I already owned this, might as well keep using it)

- PoweReader on my work iPhone https://powereader.app/

One neat thing about Miniflux is that it supports a number of APIs, including Fever and Google Reader. As long as your frontend works with one of these, you get a seamless experience. This level of choice is actually something I'm really enjoying-- I get a very native experience on whatever platform I use, as opposed to using the Inoreader app/website on each platform.



Appreciate the shout-out for PoweReader! I’m the developer. If anything feels off or you need help, please email me: support@powereader.app
