Hanko vs RSS-Bridge
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Hanko and RSS-Bridge — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Hanko vs RSS-Bridge: at a glance
What is Hanko?
Hanko maps SAML and OIDC attributes into custom claims, a step toward enterprise SSO.
Hanko is a passkey-first authentication platform, open source or cloud-hosted. October's update lets teams bring attributes from SAML and custom OIDC connections into Hanko as custom claims, configured in the Cloud Console. Earlier 2026 releases added Firebase password hash import, inactivity logouts, session transparency and stronger passcode policies.
What is RSS-Bridge?
RSS-Bridge resurfaces after a year with a date tag and a Bluesky fix, but no release notes.
RSS-Bridge generates feeds for sites that dropped theirs, and its releases are batches of community fixes to individual site bridges plus a few new ones. The last documented release was 2025-08-05. A new 2026-09-30 tag has appeared whose only visible change is a Bluesky bridge null-handling fix, with no published notes alongside it.
Hanko vs RSS-Bridge: editorial side-by-side
Hanko
0.0INFRA · APIS
Hanko maps SAML and OIDC attributes into custom claims, a step toward enterprise SSO.
◆ Current state
Hanko is a passkey-first authentication platform, open source or cloud-hosted. October's update lets teams bring attributes from SAML and custom OIDC connections into Hanko as custom claims, configured in the Cloud Console. Earlier 2026 releases added Firebase password hash import, inactivity logouts, session transparency and stronger passcode policies.
◆ Where it's heading
Hanko is filling in what enterprise customers expect from an identity provider: SSO attribute mapping, session controls and migration paths from incumbents. Releases arrive monthly or less, each with a narrow feature.
◆ Prediction
More enterprise SSO features, such as directory sync or role mapping from claims, are the likely next additions; the entries do not confirm a timeline.
RSS-Bridge
0.0INFRA · APIS
RSS-Bridge resurfaces after a year with a date tag and a Bluesky fix, but no release notes.
◆ Current state
RSS-Bridge generates feeds for sites that dropped theirs, and its releases are batches of community fixes to individual site bridges plus a few new ones. The last documented release was 2025-08-05. A new 2026-09-30 tag has appeared whose only visible change is a Bluesky bridge null-handling fix, with no published notes alongside it.
◆ Where it's heading
The core is stable PHP and the work lives in the roughly 400 site-specific scrapers, which break whenever a target site changes markup or adds bot protection. Releases have slowed from every few months to once a year, so maintenance is continuing on master faster than it is being packaged.
◆ Prediction
Unclear from the feed whether 2026-09-30 will get a written release; if it does, expect the usual mix of bridge repairs and bot-protection workarounds.
