yarr-ng

yarr-ng (yet another rss reader, next generation) is a web-based feed aggregator which can be used both as a desktop application and a personal self-hosted web-server for a single user.

This is a next generation fork of the amazing yarr RSS reader by nkanaev.

yarr-ng hopes to build on the original repo's excellent base, and add some quality of live improvements. The upstream yarr's repo is deemed feature complete, and so improvements are few and far between. This project is for those who want a liitle more out of yarr.
