We built feed.works because...
Because we love videos, reading, podcasts, and mixed-tapes (80s reference). Major platforms turned reading into a product — not for readers, but for advertisers. Feeds got replaced by algorithms. Subscriptions were buried under recommendations. Your attention became someone else's revenue. You became the product.
feed.works is a different bet: Readers deserve tools built for them. Simple, Honest, and Powerful tools that do only what you ask. Because you pay, they package up things for you, instead of packing up you to advertisers.
We're small, independent, and we plan to stay that way.
Readers First
Every decision goes through one filter: does this make reading better? Not engagement. Not time-on-site. Reading.
No Ad Platforms. No Tracking. No Hidden Agenda.
We don't sell ad space. We don't sell your data. We don't optimize for "engagement." Our business model is simple: you pay us to make your feeds better. That's it. You'll see the occasional prompt about feed.works features you haven't tried — that's us, not an advertiser.
Open Formats, No Lock-in
Your feeds are yours. Import via OPML. Export via OPML. If you leave, you take everything with you. We'd rather earn your loyalty than trap you.
Small by Choice
We're not trying to be the next big platform. We're trying to be the best small one. Small means we can care about details. Small means every user matters. Small means we answer our own support emails.
How we got here
Initially a pet project, feed.works started as a set of OPML tools — merge files, discover feeds, clean up dead subscriptions. Nerdy stuff for people who still use RSS.
Then we started building the reader we wished existed. Then search. Then transcription. Then we realized: this isn't just a reader. It's the reading infrastructure we've always wanted.
Who's behind this
Eric Moore
Founder, Token Editor in Chief
Engineer and product builder. BS in Electrical Engineering from UT Austin, MBA from SMU. Background in product design, data science, and consumer technology — including stints at "shopLTK" and "Koupon" building platforms that process real-world data at scale.
feed.works comes from a belief that reading is worth investing in, and that the tools readers use should work for them, not against them.
What we're building toward
- •A reader that gets smart without getting creepy
- •Group reading that feels like a book club, not a comments section
- •A Worker marketplace where developers build tools that package up things for readers, not packing up the human-readers
- •Full-text search across everything you've ever read or listened to
Your feed, built by you, with people you trust.
Built with the sweat of Pegasus in Big D.
