Thank you Dave Winer for creating RSS. For a while there, it seemed like we were on a path of making all data free, a truly decentralized web of information. I wish the internet would have continued on that route.

I use RSS multiple times a day through Feedly and Reeder. It is anything but dead.

It's been burning in my mind to build an RSS server that runs on your local machine with a single binary and you just add whatever sources you want.

1. It uses RSS where it's available.

2. It scrapes the content kinda like outline.com but local copies.

All data saved to your local machine, as flat files so you can use whatever backend mechanism you require.

I want to find some time this year and build this. Would anyone actually use this though?
