About KrISS-feed
KrISS feed is a self-hosted feed reader installed by copying a single index.php file to a web server. After choosing a login and password, users can import an OPML file and read feeds in list or expanded view, with options to order items, filter unread items, star items, and update manually, by JavaScript, or by cron. It requires PHP 5.2 with DOMDocument/libxml2 and mbstring, plus a server able to download external content; curl is recommended. It does not work where external access is blocked, such as free.fr, and it can fail on feeds that are not well formatted.
