What is Miniflux?

A minimal RSS reader that made passkeys the only way in, then went back to polishing the reading experience.

Miniflux ships a release roughly monthly, and the 2.2.19-through-2.3.1 stretch was almost entirely security work: OIDC token signature verification, PKCE state cleanup, SHA1 replaced with HMAC-SHA256 for Google Reader API auth, an OAuth account-binding vulnerability, an open redirect, and a possible SQL injection in dynamically built ORDER BY clauses. The two most recent releases return to product — full-text search on PostgreSQL's websearch_to_tsquery, an expanded API v1, and feed language detection.

What is Teable?

Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.

Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.

◆ Current state

Miniflux ships a release roughly monthly, and the 2.2.19-through-2.3.1 stretch was almost entirely security work: OIDC token signature verification, PKCE state cleanup, SHA1 replaced with HMAC-SHA256 for Google Reader API auth, an OAuth account-binding vulnerability, an open redirect, and a possible SQL injection in dynamically built ORDER BY clauses. The two most recent releases return to product — full-text search on PostgreSQL's websearch_to_tsquery, an expanded API v1, and feed language detection.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run in parallel. The security thread has systematically closed off every authentication path that was not cryptographically strict, culminating in 2.3.0 restricting WebAuthn login to discoverable passkeys only. The product thread is API-shaped: entry ID pagination, bulk starred updates, tag filtering, and a Go client that now exposes the full feed record — all aimed at people driving Miniflux from other software rather than its own UI.

◆ Prediction

The API surface is the area with visible momentum, so the next release most likely extends filtering or bulk operations further. Whether the passkey-only stance loosens to accommodate post-password MFA is the open question these notes raise but do not answer.

6.3

Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.

◆ Current state

Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads dominate. The first is agent infrastructure being pulled under administrative control: Skills published, upgraded, rolled back, and access-managed centrally rather than installed per user, alongside a switch governing AI credentials for Apps. The second is durability at scale, with write bursts, high fan-out cascades, and tens-of-thousands-record selections all getting attention. Together they describe a product hardening for self-hosted and larger deployments where AI features need an audit trail and an off switch.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Skills governance surface to extend toward usage reporting or per-Skill permissioning, and continued work on computed-field cascades, which appear in nearly every release in this window.
