ReactFlux: A Flexible Web Frontend for Miniflux Reading
ReactFlux is a third-party web frontend for Miniflux, offering configurable layouts, search, themes, and static deployment options. It requires an existing Miniflux instance and careful SPA routing setup.
What it is
ReactFlux is a third-party web frontend for Miniflux, focused on making browsing and reading more configurable. It is not a standalone RSS service: it sits on top of an existing Miniflux instance. The README states that Miniflux 2.3.2 and higher are supported. This makes the project most relevant to people who already run Miniflux but want a different reading interface.

Known features
The interface offers column, list, and card layouts, with controls for covers, summaries, font family, font size, article width, and title alignment. It also includes responsive behavior, touch gestures, long-press menus, collapsible navigation, dark mode, and custom themes. For article reading, the project lists an image viewer with zoom and slideshow support, attachment previews, audio and video playback, enhanced footnotes, code syntax highlighting, and estimated reading time.
For article and feed management, ReactFlux supports Miniflux full-text search with phrases, OR, and exclusions. Users can filter by read status and publication date, perform batch feed operations, and use full-text fetching. The README also documents de-duplication by hash, title, or URL; automatic read marking while scrolling; configurable per-account homepages; batch refreshing of failed subscriptions; and saving articles to third-party services. Keyboard shortcuts are customizable, while settings can be backed up, imported, and exported.
The listed interface languages are German, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. Repository metadata identifies the license as MIT and does not mark the repository as archived.

Who it suits
ReactFlux is a reasonable fit for Miniflux users, self-hosting enthusiasts, and teams that want to deploy the reading interface separately on static hosting. Its layout, theme, navigation, and reading controls may appeal to users who want to tune reading density and presentation. It should not be treated as a replacement for Miniflux’s backend, feed fetching, or storage layer.
Limitations and deployment considerations
A working Miniflux instance is required. Login can use a Miniflux username and password or an API key, which the README recommends. Before adoption, confirm that the existing Miniflux deployment meets the documented 2.3.2-or-later requirement.
ReactFlux generates static web files and documents deployment through Cloudflare Pages, pre-built files on SPA-capable static hosting, Vercel, and Docker. Whichever route is selected, deep links need to fall back to index.html so that single-page application routing works. Deployments under a subpath require the public path to be set at build time, and the reverse proxy must preserve that prefix. The supplied materials do not state minimum hardware requirements, performance figures, or provide a complete security assessment, so those points remain unconfirmed.
