### What we like

Deploy as a static Go binary, including the feed background updater. Also available through OS packages and a Docker image. Storage backed by Postgres. Minimalist, customizable UI for focused reading of RSS, Atom, JSON feeds. Plays videos and podcasts. Full text search. REST API with Go and Python clients.

### Tradeoffs

Support for handling email newsletters would be great. Perhaps it could make Postgres optional by using SQLite instead?
