It’s fast, lightweight, reliable, and its keyboard shortcuts include Vim navigation keys. It’s got an old-school vibe, but I like that. I also like that I can throw a client on top of it. I’ve used NetNewsWire from my iPad, and I actively use Newsboat from the command line, though I mostly use Miniflux directly.

My typical workflow:

  • Load the Unread page.
  • Use the j / k Vim movements to navigate the list.
  • Hit v to open the item’s link in a browser tab. I prefer this to reading inside the reader app.
  • When I’m done, close the tab, go back to (2).

Simple and fast.

Miniflux powers my RSS stack as well. I use netnewswire as the Mac and iOS client, but often end up just navigating to the host directly as well.
