Oksskolten is an AI-native RSS reader that fetches the original article for every feed item instead of relying on the limited summaries supplied by RSS feeds.
It extracts full article content with Mozilla Readability and extensive cleanup rules, converts articles to clean Markdown, and stores them locally so you can read complete articles inside the application. The project is built for self-hosting, combining a React frontend with a Node.js backend and a design that can run on anything from a Raspberry Pi to a cloud VM.
This is free and open source software.
