Me, too. It has unique features - I love it!

I'm using Feedly. What unique features does NewsBlur have?

I use newsblur too, Feedly looks pretty similar at first glance. I went with NewsBlur after comparing them all at the time it had everything I wanted, and it wasn't free, so I'm hoping that means it'll last. So far so good on that front :-)

NewsBlur is open-source with cloud options. Feedly wastes too much screen real estate, NewsBlur has an AI option to prioritise articles based on your taste.

I guess I'm back in the market for a feedreader because #$%# Firefox keeps breaking[1][2] my (awesome) feedreader extension[3]. First they moved me off regular Firefox to Nightly because my (entirely private, self-developed) extension is unsigned. Now it's stopped working even on Nightly. And part of me is like why bother fixing it because they're just going to move the goalposts again like they did going from XUL to Jetpack to cfx to jpm... Already I hear they're moving to something called WebExtensions, which of course won't work for all possible situations so we might still have to stick with the old SDK, but the old SDK is deprecated... I get tired just thinking about it.

Ack, how did this turn into a rant? Tl;dr - I get cranky when I haven't been able to get to my feeds for a few days.

Thanks for releasing this! Anyone know if there is a Docker container for this app? I've found Docker to be a great tool for trying server apps out without littering my system with extra installations.

you are welcome!

Yes, in the future I plan to put it in the docker, but at the current moment you can use it, because this only one jar + sqliter db.
