Lerama is a lightweight self-hosted feed aggregator designed for following news sites, blogs and other regularly updated sources from a web browser. It accepts several common syndication formats, allowing feeds from different publishing systems to be collected and read through a single interface.
The application is built with Laravel and separates feed administration from normal reading. Sources can be organised into categories and associated with topics or tags, while collected items can be searched and filtered. Lerama also includes mechanisms intended to make large collections more manageable, including incremental updates, batch processing and image caching.
This is free and open source software.
