This seems like an unsolved problem to this day. Does anyone know about any active efforts to define an "Open Reader API" of any kind?

I have been thinking recently that it would be _great_ to have a simple server that handles your RSS/podcast subscriptions and keeps track of the read/undread status, either as a simple linux deamon or maybe even as a serverless (decentralized / IPFS / OrbitDB) sync solution. Then anyone could make apps for any platform on top of it.
