Feed Reader Centralv1-beta4

About the Application

This application is designed to be a lightweight, near-zero dependency application that individuals can run themselves. The idea that let to its creation was a desire to have a set of RSS feeds which could be read from multiple devices on the same home network; for example, if an item was read from a laptop, it would not show up as new if the feed were read from a phone. The author had planned to write something similar when Google Reader shut down, and the combination of those two ideas led to the application you are looking at now.

Installation

Steps to install this application are found in the Feed Reader Central source code repository. It also describes some required configuration (mostly surrounding security modes; see the first feature below for all the details on that) and some optional ways to change the application's behavior.
