What is Sismics Reader?
Sismics Reader is a free, open-source web-based feed reader that aggregates RSS and Atom feeds. It offers a clean, responsive interface accessible from desktop and mobile browsers, plus a native Android application. Key features include organizing feeds into categories, keyboard shortcuts, full-text search across articles, OPML import and export for migration, a RESTful web API, and skinnable themes. The project is written in Java and can be deployed via Docker Compose (which includes an HSQLDB database), native installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux, or as a WAR file for any servlet container. A public demo is available at reader-demo.sismics.com. The project has not had a release since 2018 and appears to be in maintenance mode.
