CommaFeed vs Miro: at a glance
What is CommaFeed?
CommaFeed is patching its way through the attack surface a self-hosted reader inherits
CommaFeed's 7.x line has become a sustained security pass. The newest patch closes Host header injection on the password recovery endpoint and adds a commafeed.password-recovery-public-base-url setting so the email base URL is configured rather than taken from the request. Behind it: local address blocking made secure by default alongside Google Reader API support in 7.3.0, javascript: URLs filtered at parse time in 7.2.1, and SSRF limits on the image proxy in 7.2.0.
What is Miro?
Miro is closing the gap between the workshop board and the deck built from it.
The board is becoming a source for generated deliverables: Miro AI now produces structured Slides presentations from scattered board content. Prototyping is the other heavy investment — an Advanced tab of 76 components, Code to Prototype, prototyping from screenshots and Figma, SVG and Copy-to-Figma export, connector visibility and precise sizing in Focus Modes. Diagramming continues to widen with an electrical-engineering shape pack and style-aware AI diagrams.

◆ Current state
CommaFeed's 7.x line has become a sustained security pass. The newest patch closes Host header injection on the password recovery endpoint and adds a commafeed.password-recovery-public-base-url setting so the email base URL is configured rather than taken from the request. Behind it: local address blocking made secure by default alongside Google Reader API support in 7.3.0, javascript: URLs filtered at parse time in 7.2.1, and SSRF limits on the image proxy in 7.2.0.
◆ Where it's heading
Every release in this stretch closes a path where content or a request from outside the instance was trusted too far - feed URLs reaching internal addresses, proxied images, javascript: links, and now a header shaping an outbound email. That is the checklist of a project being run as a multi-user hosted service rather than a single-user tool, and it follows directly from the 7.0.0 decision to sandbox filter expressions. Feature work continues in parallel but is clearly the smaller half.
◆ Prediction
The remaining untrusted-input surfaces - OPML import and the feed fetcher's redirect handling - are the likely next targets. The pattern of shipping each fix as its own patch release should continue rather than batching them.
Miro
0.0COLLAB
Miro is closing the gap between the workshop board and the deck built from it.
◆ Current state
The board is becoming a source for generated deliverables: Miro AI now produces structured Slides presentations from scattered board content. Prototyping is the other heavy investment — an Advanced tab of 76 components, Code to Prototype, prototyping from screenshots and Figma, SVG and Copy-to-Figma export, connector visibility and precise sizing in Focus Modes. Diagramming continues to widen with an electrical-engineering shape pack and style-aware AI diagrams.
◆ Where it's heading
Miro is pushing outward at both ends of the canvas — generating the presentation that used to be built elsewhere afterwards, and generating prototypes from code, screenshots and Figma files beforehand. The canvas is being positioned as the middle of a pipeline rather than a standalone whiteboard.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Slides and Prototypes paths to keep converging on generation from existing artifacts, with the add-on boundary deciding how much of it is included.
