Load any feed, read articles, and download or email them as MOBI or EPUB.\n\nFree \u0026 open source. **[Open the Reader](https://reader.inkfeed.xyz)**\n\n## Structure\n\n```\nfrontend/   — Zero-dependency ES3 JavaScript SPA (open index.html directly, no build step)\nbackend/    — Go REST API (feed parsing, article extraction, EPUB/MOBI generation, email delivery)\n```\n\n## Features\n\n- **Clean reader view** — Extracts the full article body using Mozilla Readability, stripping ads and site chrome. Adjustable font, spacing, and line height.\n- **Download \u0026 send to Kindle** — Export articles as MOBI, EPUB, or plain text. Download or email individual articles or a selection from the feed to your Kindle.\n- **Save your feeds** — Save feed URLs and sync them across devices. Sign up to keep your feeds and preferences in sync wherever you read.\n- **Feed archive** — Enable archiving on a saved feed and the server scrapes it hourly, storing articles so you can read back issues even when the original page is gone.\n- **Feed groups** — Organise saved feeds into named groups. Load all articles from a group in one tap.\n- **Favorites** — Star any article to save it for later, synced to your account.\n- **RSS 2.0 \u0026 Atom** — Parses both formats natively. Special handling for Reddit JSON feeds and Google News redirect URLs.\n- **Comments** — View threaded comments for Hacker News, Reddit, and Lobste.rs articles directly in the reader.\n- **Wikipedia search** — Search Wikipedia and open any article inline.\n- **Built for e-ink** — No JavaScript frameworks, no heavy assets. Written in ES3 so it runs in the Kindle's experimental browser.\n\n## How to use\n\n1. Open [reader.inkfeed.xyz](https://reader.inkfeed.xyz) in any browser — desktop, phone, or Kindle.\n2. Paste any RSS or Atom feed URL and hit **Load**, or pick from the suggested feeds list.\n3. Click an article to read it. Use **Full Article** to extract the complete body from the source.\n4. **Download** or **Email** individual articles, or select multiple from the feed at once.\n\n## Export formats\n\n| Format | Notes |\n|--------|-------|\n| MOBI | Kindle-native. Includes comments if available. |\n| EPUB | Supports image embedding (backend mode). |\n| TXT | Plain text. |\n\n## How it works\n\n**Server-side (default):** Articles are fetched and converted on a server, then delivered to your device or sent straight to your Kindle email address. Add **export@sender.inkfeed.xyz** to your Kindle's approved senders list.\n\n**Fully local (optional):** Everything runs in the browser via a CORS proxy. Files are assembled and downloaded directly on your device. Switch to this mode any time in Settings.\n\n## Running locally\n\n### Frontend\n\nNo install required. Open `frontend/index.html` directly in a browser. External dependencies (Mozilla Readability, JSZip) load from CDN.\n\n### Backend\n\n```bash\ncd backend\ncp .env.example .env   # configure environment variables\ngo run .               # starts on port 8080\n```\n\nSee `backend/.env.example` for all available environment variables.\n\n## Technical details\n\n- Pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript — no build step, no npm, no transpilation.\n- All JavaScript uses ES3 syntax for Kindle browser compatibility (no `let`/`const`, no arrow functions, no `fetch` — uses `XMLHttpRequest`).\n- Custom MOBI writer ported from [MobiWriter](https://github.com/cafaxo/MobiWriter) (C++) to [pure JavaScript](https://github.com/adhamsalama/MobiWriterJS).\n- CORS proxy is configurable in Settings. You can self-host [this proxy](https://github.com/adhamsalama/cors-proxy).\n\n## Acknowledgments\n\nMany thanks to [MobiWriter](https://github.com/cafaxo/MobiWriter) for implementing an HTML-to-MOBI conversion program in C++, which Claude Code was able to port to pure JavaScript. Several AI models failed to implement this from scratch — pointing Claude Code at the MobiWriter source and asking it to port it to JavaScript is what made it possible.\n\n## License\n\nAGPL-3.0\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fadhamsalama%2Finkfeed","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fadhamsalama%2Finkfeed","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fadhamsalama%2Finkfeed/lists"}
