Why Bloglines mattered
The dominant RSS reader BEFORE Google Reader. Pioneered web-based RSS aggregation. Acquired by Ask.com in 2005, neglected, then killed in 2010.
How SENTINEL brings it back
SENTINEL Reader honors Bloglines' legacy with modern AI summaries on top of the same RSS-aggregator pattern.
Why this matters in 2026
Big Tech killed every great community-driven internet tool between 2008 and 2024. Bloglines was one of them. SENTINEL is the unified replacement — 7 dead products reborn as one AI-powered platform on owned infrastructure, free forever for personal use, no tracking, no ads.
All AI runs on local Llama and Qwen models — no OpenAI bills, your data never leaves our server. Stripe-powered subscriptions for paid tiers, free forever for the basics.
