That’s why I made Minimal‑RSS‑Reader as simple as possible.
The English build is 25.8 KB and the Japanese build is 26.8 KB; the file size may vary depending on usage.
Tested on Ubuntu, Pixel 7a, and Chromebook.
By replacing login‑based, cloud RSS readers, you keep full sovereignty over your own data.
Because the code is lean, you can tweak the design or add features freely under the MIT license.
Maintaining the tools you use—doesn’t that feel profoundly human?
As AI is used (and misused), the flood of information will only grow.
Yet with your own RSS whitelist, a single HTML file of roughly 25.8 KB can stand as your shield.
Everything we truly need might fit in under 1 MB—small enough for a floppy disk.
Algorithms have created problems by giving us too much to chew on.
My hypothesis: returning to radical simplicity is the best remedy.
Thank you for reading.
