Hi there, I'm Adrian, and I'd like to share a side project I've been working on for the past 3 years. reader is a Python feed reader library – it takes care of the core functionality required by a feed reader, so you can focus on what makes yours different. reader allows you to: * retrieve, store, and manage Atom, RSS, and JSON feeds * mark entries as read or important * add tags and metadata to feeds * filter feeds and articles * full-text search articles * write plugins to extend its functionality Part of the reason for this project was to do the best work I could. I spent a lot of time thinking about the API, how to make it nice to use, and how to reduce the likelihood of breaking changes. I've also taken the time to make it maintainable long-term; to this end, the core library is fully typed and has 100% test coverage. More importantly, I wanted to make a self-hosted feed reader web app – for privacy reasons, and so I can easily change stuff I don't like. The fact that I couldn’t find one extensible enough bugged me so much that I decided to make my own; a few years later, I ended up with what I would’ve liked to use when I first started. https://reader.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#quickstart https://reader.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#quickstart gives a quick tour of what the API looks like; the user guide has a more detailed feature-by-feature overview. There's also a web app (which I use daily for feeds and podcasts); it's somewhat ugly since I don't really care for front-end stuff :) But that's kinda the point – if you want to build your own you can, and you only need to do that; the low level stuff is already taken care of.
