Self-hosted RSS feed generator that makes feeds for thousands of sites that have none, from social networks to news and forums.

Open-source alternative toFeedly

RSSHub at a glance

Checked 21 Oct 2026

RSSHub is not a reader: it creates RSS feeds for sites that do not offer one, which you then add to Miniflux, FreshRSS or any reader. It has thousands of community-made routes, including keyword searches on some sites. You run it with Docker Compose, Node.js or on hosts like Vercel and Fly.io; builds are released daily (latest dated 21 October 2026). Some routes need your own credentials. For X (Twitter) the docs say: "Configure a comma-separated list of `auth_token` cookies of logged-in Twitter Web", or use paid developer API keys. AGPL-3.0.

For follow sites, summarise and prioritise articles with AI, see other Feedly alternatives. You may also need to build an interface, an API server and hosting yourself.
