Arabesque for Zola

Lantern

A quiet, self-hosted feed reader: one column, no counts, and the day's reading in the order it was written.

1 min read

Lantern reads RSS and Atom feeds on your own server and shows them as one column, oldest first, with no unread counts to chase. It keeps a week of articles and forgets the rest.

Why

Most readers turn feeds into an inbox. Lantern treats them as a newspaper: it comes once a day, and when you’ve read it, you’re done.

What’s in it

  • A single binary and a SQLite file.
  • Full text fetched for feeds that only send a summary.
  • Right-to-left feeds shown right to left.
