Tiny Tiny RSS's maintainer walked away. Yours doesn't have to.

On 2025-11-01, Andrew Dolgov (Fox) retired Tiny Tiny RSS, dismantling the public infrastructure and the official repo. Long-time contributor supahgreg forked the codebase the same week to github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss and the project lives on under community maintenance. The tt-rss.org domain redirects there now.

If you're happy maintaining your tt-rss instance against the community fork, fantastic — that's exactly the model we want to see survive. This page is for the contingent who, after years of running a TT-RSS server, are reconsidering whether they really want to keep running a TT-RSS server.

What FeedZero offers that TT-RSS doesn't

• No server to maintain. FeedZero is browser-first. The hosted version at feedzero.app gives you the reader and a CORS proxy; everything else runs in your browser.
• End-to-end encrypted sync across devices, by default. No PHP, no MySQL, no nightly cron, no upgrade-day. (Format documented.)
• A reader pane that's actually a pleasure to use. TT-RSS optimizes for the power-user backend; FeedZero optimizes for reading.

What you keep from TT-RSS

• The trust model. TT-RSS's appeal was "my data lives on my server, not someone else's." FeedZero's E2E architecture preserves that: the operator (us) cannot read your feed list, your reads, your saved articles. Period. We can't subpoena what we don't have.
• Self-hostable. If the hosted service goes away, FeedZero's Hono server runs as a single binary on whatever you used to run TT-RSS on. Same threat model, less maintenance.
• Open source. Audit, fork, contribute.

Importing your TT-RSS subscriptions

TT-RSS exports OPML cleanly. Settings → Preferences → Feeds → OPML → Export. Drop the resulting tt-rss-feeds.xml into FeedZero's Settings → Import. Sub-second import for hundreds of feeds, no API token shuffle.

Read state doesn't import — TT-RSS's API doesn't expose it in OPML and we don't have the article corpus locally yet. You'll start with everything unread; mark-all-as-read on day one is a clean way to begin.

What we differ on

• Power-user filtering. TT-RSS has rules. FeedZero doesn't yet. (We're building toward it; not there.)
• Plugin ecosystem. TT-RSS's strength. FeedZero is opinionated — fewer hooks, less to break.
• AI summarization. Neither of us ships it well today. Every cloud AI integration in the category leaks reading content; we won't until we have an architecture that doesn't.

Why we built this

FeedZero exists to protect its users — journalists, activists, people whose reading habits matter. The privacy moat is also a sustainability moat: nothing to sell, no platform liability, no VC runway to outrun. We expect to be here in 2030. Most readers in this category won't.

Get started

1. Visit feedzero.app.
2. Pick a passphrase. Enable sync.
3. Settings → Import → upload your TT-RSS OPML export.
4. Done.
