CLUSTER RSS-READER-ATOM · 35 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-11-01

RSS and Atom feed readers

This cluster spans RSS and Atom feed readers across desktop, terminal, mobile, and self-hosted platforms, with many minimal and specialized implementations. Dated entries are sparse from 2010 through 2025, then show increasing monthly counts in early 2026 (from 3 in January to 5 in April). Traction is led by rust-rss-reader (5 stars), followed by Rill (1 star) and newsraft (0 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
