RSSPipe is a single-user, self-hosted RSS information gateway designed to replace traditional feeds readers with an elegant, ultra-fast, and distraction-free reading experience. Built with a robust Go backend and a modern React PWA interface.

✨ Key Features

🖥️ Reeder 4 Minimal 3-Pane View: Designed for desktop power users with collapsible navigation sidebar, dense article list, and distraction-free reading canvas.
📱 Xiaohongshu-Style Masonry Waterfall: Designed for mobile and media-rich browsing with adaptive masonry columns, category filter chips, and full-screen post reader.
⚡ High-Speed Crawler & Engine: Concurrent worker pool crawler in Go with per-feed polling intervals, custom timeouts, and HTTP conditional caching (ETag / Last-Modified 304).
🔒 Single-User Security & Auth: JWT-based session security and bcrypt hashing to secure access over the public internet.
📁 OPML 2.0 Import & Export: Effortless migration from Miniflux, Feedly, Inoreader, NetNewsWire, or Reeder.
🔗 Standalone Article Sharing: Instant public HTML snapshot sharing (/share/{uuid}.html) for individual articles.
⌨️ Keyboard Navigation: Complete single-key shortcut navigation (j/k next/previous, m mark read, s star, e archive, v view original, [ sidebar toggle).
💾 Local State & Reading Persistence: Restores exact view modes, filter selections, active feeds, and reading positions upon page refresh.

🚀 Quickstart

Option 1: Run with Docker Compose

# Clone the repository
git clone https://git.pengzhan.dev/haopengzhan/rsspipe.git
cd rsspipe

# Start RSSPipe
docker compose up -d

Visit http://localhost:8080. Default credentials:

Username: admin
Password: admin123456 (configurable via environment variables)

Option 2: Local Development Setup

Prerequisites

Go 1.22+
Node.js 18+ & npm

# Clone the repository
git clone https://git.pengzhan.dev/haopengzhan/rsspipe.git
cd rsspipe

# Build and start server using Makefile
make dev

Or build separately:

make build          # Compiles frontend bundle + backend binary into bin/rsspipe
./bin/rsspipe       # Runs production binary

The server binds to http://localhost:8080 and serves both the API endpoints and static frontend assets.
