RSS-Librarian is a read-it-later service for RSS purists. You can store articles from the web in your own personal RSS/Atom feed and use your favorite feed-reader software to read your stored articles later. RSS-Librarian uses no database and works without accounts.

The project was born out of a personal frustration of mine: My workflow for reading anything I am interested in is by adding a star in my feed-reader to an article, which necessitates that anything I want to read is somehow a RSS/Atom subscription, and that isn't true for single articles I get sent by someone.
RSS-Librarian solves this issue with a self-hostable PHP file by extracting content from articles using a readability service and directly writing them as new entries into a personal feed, without requiring special libraries, a database or user accounts.
Consider RSS-Librarian if you want to:
- Store a collection of articles in a feed-reader application
- Avoid third-party read-it-later services such as Wallabag, Instapaper, Pocket etc.
- Minimize the amount of necessary apps for reading articles
- Get rid of accounts and not sign up to anything
- Read articles (offline) in a readable format, but not categorize or store them indefinitely
- Synchronize stored articles to multiple devices
- Optionally be able to self-host the whole architecture
