Miniflux

A minimalist, opinionated RSS reader β€” no JavaScript framework, no bloat. Pure Go server rendering HTML, PostgreSQL for storage. The anti-algorithm antidote to curated feeds.

βš™ Full Stack

Single Go binary, server-rendered HTML (no client framework at all), PostgreSQL as the only dependency. REST API included. Feed fetching and parsing happen server-side on a schedule β€” no client-side polling.

πŸ“ˆ Scaling Analysis

Textbook clean architecture: stateless Go binary, single Postgres dependency, no hardcoded URLs anywhere in the client because there effectively is no client bundle. Scales by adding replicas behind a load balancer with zero code changes.

πŸš€ Running on Nexlayer

One pod + Postgres. Set DATABASE_URL to postgres.pod:5432. No other configuration needed β€” it's about as close to zero-ops as a self-hosted app gets on Nexlayer.
