What it is

Dispatch is a self-hosted RSS feed reader. It started as a clone of yarr and has grown its own set of features over time. Runs as a single container with SQLite — no external database required.

Features

• Subscribe to and browse RSS/Atom feeds
• Automatic background feed refresh (all feeds every 24h, staggered)
• Mark articles read/unread, star items
• Full-text article view with original formatting
• Feed icons fetched and cached locally
• Settings page with scheduler status and controls
• Docker container with persistent volume mounts for data and assets

Status

Active development. Core reader functionality is complete and in daily use.
