Again, this is not an exact answer to Paul, but sharing what I currently
use ...

After Google killed their Reader, I switched to TinyRSS, and ran it for
many years.
A couple of years ago, TinyRSS had some errors parsing certain feeds, so I
switched to MiniFlux, and still use it.
The maintainer of MiniFlux though, decided to move on and re-write it in
Go, and only for PostgresSQL.
I am not interested in running PostgreSQL just for newsfeeds, so I stayed
with the PHP/MySQL version,
which is now named MiniFlux legacy

My MiniFlux runs on my home office server.
