Newspipe is a web-based news aggregator for following RSS and Atom feeds through a personal reading interface. It is built with Python, using Flask, asyncio and SQLAlchemy to manage subscriptions, retrieve articles and store reading information.
The application supports multiple users, allowing each person to maintain their own subscriptions and article collections. Its interface brings together incoming articles, favourites, bookmarks and notes, making it useful for both everyday reading and collecting information for later reference.
Newspipe also provides tools for managing feed subscriptions and transferring personal data. Users can import subscriptions from another reader or export their account information, while developers can interact with feeds through its API.
The application includes account administration and optional directory-based authentication, making it suitable for individuals as well as shared installations.
This is free and open source software.
