Introduction:
Since Feedly's redesign, I haven't been able to get used to the interface. I especially miss the high-density, single-column, no-nonsense reading rhythm of the old Feedly Classic. My subscription sources include many English, Japanese, and Korean technical blogs. Every time I encountered them, I either had to open a new tab for translation or simply skip them. Over time, these sources became "read but ignored."
Instead of continuing to settle, I spent a weekend building my own RSS reader: FeedFlow. It features a mobile-first design, dark theme, and multi-column view modes—a tribute to Feedly Classic. Data is stored in Google Firestore, and accounts are tied to LINE Login. For non-Chinese articles, the background automatically uses Gemini 2.5 Flash to translate them into Traditional Chinese. It is currently deployed on Cloud Run, and I use it every day.
This repo will continue to be developed. This post is the first in a series, documenting the skeleton of the entire project and the context behind several key decisions.
TL;DR
