Freedy is a free and simple RSS/ Atom reader for the browser, written in Python with Flask. Using Bootstrap as a mobile-first web framework, we were able to create a nice looking webapp for every kind of device.

• Looks great on tablets, phones etc. thanks to Bootstrap.
• Compatible with RSS and Atom feeds.
• Add as many feeds as you like!
• Amount of the recent posts shown of each feed can be configured.
• ... and of course the simple deployment via Docker ;)

You basically just need to clone the repo, setup the virtualenv for the project and then run the flask/gunicorn server. Do not forget to enter your Atom/RSS feeds in the urls.txt file (one line for every entry) in the config directory.

We also recommend using a reverse proxy (eg. nginx) in front of the app for security reasons.

git clone https://github.com/konstantingoretzki/freedy && cd freedy/
