Hey all, I wanted to share this solution to a minimalist RSS Feed Reader by George Mandis, who wrote a great blog post about his approach here: https://george.mand.is/2019/11/introducing-bubo-rss-an-absur... Essentially, the reader is nothing but a build script that is routinely run to build a static web page that can then be published to Netlify/Vercel/Github pages/etc.
Anyway, I was using Inoreader for about a year (highly recommended, by the way) before I decided to fork George's project for my own purposes. After a few opinionated changes, I was happy with the outcome (https://kevinfiol.com/reader/). I used George's method of building via Github Actions. I modified the Github Actions workflow to build every 30 minutes and deploy directly to Github Pages.
While definitely not as powerful as Inoreader, I feel the outcome is enough for my purposes, and I was happy that I could customize the HTML/CSS to my liking instead of adding tons of custom CSS to Inoreader using Stylus.

Thanks George!
