Feedbin
Feedbin is an RSS feed aggregator that collects and organizes updates from websites, video channels, and playlists into a chronological list. It functions as a centralized content manager, providing tools for feed aggregation and the organization of web-based information.
The service distinguishes itself by converting email newsletters into feed entries via unique email aliases and offering a dedicated podcast manager that tracks playback progress across devices. It also includes a full-text extractor to retrieve complete articles when source feeds only provide snippets and a system to track and highlight changes between different versions of an article.
Broad capabilities include cross-platform state synchronization for reading status, an immersive reading mode with typography customization, and rule-based automation to automatically star or mark incoming content as read. The system also features advanced content search with saved queries and a privacy-focused image proxy to mask user identity.
A programmable REST API is available for external clients to manage subscriptions and aggregated feed data.
