I built a free, private RSS dashboard that runs entirely in your browser (No servers, no accounts)

Hey everyone, I wanted a simple, visual way to organize my feeds into widgets and tabs without having to pay for a subscription or set up a complicated home server.

I ended up building a static dashboard. This means it runs entirely in your web browser—there is no server, and you don’t even need to create an account.

Quick Demo: https://rozhovetskyi.github.io/Dashboard/demo

What it can do:

  • Thematic Tabs: You can group feeds into specific topics (like "Tech," "Global News," or "Finance") to keep things organized and avoid distractions.
  • Keep the widgets clean: You can set widgets to only show stories from the last N days (e.g., nothing older than 3 days) and limit the total number of items displayed.
  • RSS & Google News: Full support for standard feeds and specific Google News topics.
  • Custom Widgets: I added support for HTML widgets so you can embed things like weather, clocks, or stock tickers.

Why I built it this way:

  • Everything stays on your machine: Your feed list and settings are saved in your browser's local storage. No data ever leaves your computer.
  • Zero Setup: You can use the live link above, or literally just download the code to your desktop and open the HTML file. It doesn't need a server to work.
  • Portable: You can export your entire layout to a file and import it on another device.

How to use it:

I’d love to hear your thoughts or if there are any features you think are missing! :)
