What Leed actually does
Leed is a lightweight, self-hosted RSS aggregator written in PHP. It collects and displays web feeds in a minimalist interface, allowing you to centralise your reading subscriptions on your own infrastructure.
Best fit: This is a suitable choice if you want a simple, low-resource feed reader deployed via a standard PHP stack without the bloat of heavier applications.
Worth knowing: Development activity is currently modest, and it faces strong competition from more actively maintained alternatives in the same category.
Deployment notes
You will typically need a standard web server with PHP support, a relational database like MySQL or MariaDB, and persistent storage for your configuration and feed data.
