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's Structured Query v2 now reports across multi-hop relations, with a strict mode against SQL.

Teable ships near-daily. The October 27 release extends Structured Query v2 to same-project relational reporting across one-to-many, many-to-many and up to three-hop relations, with aggregates, grouping and permissions checked at every hop; new SQL-based query definitions now get warnings, with an optional strict mode that rejects them. The same release adds atomic record upsert on a unique field, a Table Operations console for admins, an Artifact Manager, and paginated base listing over MCP and CLI.

◆ 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.

7.5

Teable's Structured Query v2 now reports across multi-hop relations, with a strict mode against SQL.

◆ Current state

Teable ships near-daily. The October 27 release extends Structured Query v2 to same-project relational reporting across one-to-many, many-to-many and up to three-hop relations, with aggregates, grouping and permissions checked at every hop; new SQL-based query definitions now get warnings, with an optional strict mode that rejects them. The same release adds atomic record upsert on a unique field, a Table Operations console for admins, an Artifact Manager, and paginated base listing over MCP and CLI.

◆ Where it's heading

Since the chat-first preview on October 21, each release has moved more of the product onto structured queries that agents can use safely, and away from raw SQL. Admin and integration tooling (upsert, complexity assessment, MCP pagination) is now arriving to support larger workspaces built this way.

◆ Prediction

Expect strict mode to tighten toward a default and the remaining query gaps, such as cross-project relations and sorting by to-many fields, to close next.
