About Curated Feeds
Building tools for intentional content consumption in an age of algorithmic distraction.
The Founder
Rajat Kashyap
Founder & Lead Developer
Building from India for the world
I am Rajat Kashyap, a mobile developer and RSS enthusiast who built Curated Feeds to solve a problem I personally experienced. Before creating this app, I was spending over three hours daily on social media feeds designed to capture my attention rather than serve my interests.
In 2022, I conducted a personal experiment: replacing social media with RSS for content consumption. The results were dramatic — I read more, remembered more, and felt significantly less anxious about missing out. But existing RSS apps felt clunky and dated. So I built Curated Feeds to make intentional reading genuinely enjoyable.
Our Values
Privacy is Non-Negotiable
Curated Feeds operates without servers storing your reading data. Your feeds, saved articles, and reading patterns remain on your device. We literally cannot access your information because we designed the architecture to make it impossible.
Focus is a Feature
Every design decision prioritizes sustained attention. No infinite scroll. No notification badges. No algorithmic recommendations. Just your chosen sources, presented beautifully for focused reading.
Intentional Over Infinite
We reject the attention economy model. Our business does not depend on keeping you in the app longer. Use Curated Feeds, read what matters, then close it and live your life. That is the point.

Technical Stack
We believe in transparency about our technology. Curated Feeds is built with:
- Flutter — for cross-platform mobile development, ensuring consistent experience across Android devices.
- Cloudflare Workers — for edge computing, providing fast, distributed RSS feed fetching with minimal latency worldwide.
- Firebase — for backend services including analytics, distribution, and hosting.
- Next.js — for the marketing website and blog, enabling static generation for performance and SEO.
- Dart — as our primary programming language, chosen for type safety and Flutter integration.
Our architecture prioritizes offline-first functionality. Articles cache locally for reading without connectivity.
