How to Build a Self-Hosted RSS Reader with Next.js 16 and Strapi 5
Blog post from Strapi
The tutorial describes the process of building a self-hosted RSS reader using Strapi 5 and Next.js 16, where Strapi manages feed storage and parsing while Next.js renders the user interface. It involves setting up a Strapi backend to model feeds and articles with a one-to-many relationship, using a custom service to parse RSS and Atom feeds via the rss-parser library, and scheduling regular feed updates with cron tasks. The frontend, built with Next.js 16, fetches data from Strapi's REST API to display a sidebar listing feeds and a main panel showing articles. Users can toggle the read status of articles, and the entire system runs on user-controlled infrastructure, storing data in a PostgreSQL database. The tutorial emphasizes the customization and control available through Strapi's features, such as core service methods, custom routes, and the Document Service API, while also highlighting the advantages of using Strapi's built-in scheduling and REST API capabilities without external dependencies.
