Updated Dec 13, 2025
Price: Free

Description

A self-hosted, anti-social RSS reader.

Stringer has no external dependencies, no social recommendations/sharing, and no fancy machine learning algorithms.

But it does have keyboard shortcuts and was made with love!

Stringer is a Ruby app based on Rails, PostgreSQL, Backbone.js and GoodJob.

Stringer will run just fine on the Eco/Basic Heroku plans.
