This software will allow one or multiple users to subscribe to RSS feeds and read the articles from those feeds. Below, items starting with [A] will be done before the first alpha release, and items starting with [R] will be completed (or deferred) before the software goes beta. After a testing period, v1 will be released.

Users

[A] There will be a single-user / no-password mode, where any user hitting the site is assumed to be the only user. (#3)
[R] There will also be modes where that single user can provide a password, and modes that support multiple users with passwords. (#9)

Feeds

[A] An authorized user will have the ability to add feeds by URL. (#4)
[R] A feed may also be added by providing a site's URL, and the software will extract the feed from the provided HTML. (#10)
[A] Feeds will be refreshed on-demand (#5), [R] or on a configurable schedule (#11).

Items

[A] The items in an RSS feed will be extracted and indexed; only new items will be flagged as new (#5) [R] and prune items past a configurable date range or other criteria (#12).
[A] Items will be listed by published or updated time (whichever is newer) in descending order from all configured feeds (#6) ([R] these may also be grouped by the feed source (#13)).
[A] Items will be able to be read within the site (by the content in the feed), and will provide a link to the original item that opens in a new window/tab. (#7)
[R] From within the item being read, that item may be kept as new (#7), or may be bookmarked (bookmarked items are immune from purging) (#14).
[R] Items may also be reviewed by feed, regardless of whether the items is read or unread. (#13)
[R] Bookmarked items will be listed similar to unread items (either all or by feed). (#14)
[R] An authorized user can search the by text within items, which can include all read/unread items or be restricted to bookmarked items. (#15)

Technical Stuff

The software will use vanilla PHP 8.3 for the server and SQLite 3.x for the database.
