paperboy wót Nicholas Velten

Minimal, opinionated, keyboard-first, local-first RSS reader and podcast player — as your browser's new tab.

No accounts. No cloud sync. No tracking. Your feeds, articles, and episodes live on your machine as plain files.

Every new tab opens paperboy. You get your RSS feeds and podcast queue in one place, driven entirely by the keyboard. Articles open in a clean reader. Podcasts play in a persistent bottom bar that survives tab navigation. Everything is stored in ~/paperboy/ as JSON and JSONL — readable, diffable, git-syncable.
