Miniflux vs SiYuan: at a glance
What is Miniflux?
Miniflux adds group-based admin roles and lets passkeys be the only login.
Miniflux 2.3.5 adds OpenID Connect admin role mapping from group claims, a force option on the feed refresh API and validation of CSS selectors in rewrite and scraper rules. Passkeys can now serve as the only login method when local authentication is disabled. The security list is long again, covering session sign-out on password change, feed cookie scoping and SSRF bypass blocks, following similar work in 2.3.4.
What is SiYuan?
SiYuan's third 3.8.10 alpha adds a built-in Markdown editor and video looping.
SiYuan opened the 3.8.10 line on Oct 31 with workspace-level long-term memory for AI, database sub-items, HTTP requests in templates and an Exa key for built-in web search. Alpha.3 on Nov 2 grows the list to 19 items, adding a built-in lightweight Markdown editor, loop playback for video blocks, configurable floating dock visibility and a command-line switch for the fixed-port proxy. No stable 3.8.9 appears in the feed, so rc.1 is the last visible milestone for that line.
Miniflux vs SiYuan: editorial side-by-side
Miniflux
5.0COLLAB
Miniflux adds group-based admin roles and lets passkeys be the only login.
◆ Current state
Miniflux 2.3.5 adds OpenID Connect admin role mapping from group claims, a force option on the feed refresh API and validation of CSS selectors in rewrite and scraper rules. Passkeys can now serve as the only login method when local authentication is disabled. The security list is long again, covering session sign-out on password change, feed cookie scoping and SSRF bypass blocks, following similar work in 2.3.4.
◆ Where it's heading
The two threads from earlier this year continue, but the security work has broadened from authentication strictness to the server's network and session behavior. SSO is the new thread: admin mapping and an authentication settings page make Miniflux easier to run for a group rather than one person. API additions and validation messages keep serving people driving it from other software.
◆ Prediction
The next release likely adds more identity options around OIDC and further SSRF hardening, since both have moved in consecutive releases. Neither is promised in these notes.
SiYuan
5.0COLLAB
SiYuan's third 3.8.10 alpha adds a built-in Markdown editor and video looping.
◆ Current state
SiYuan opened the 3.8.10 line on Oct 31 with workspace-level long-term memory for AI, database sub-items, HTTP requests in templates and an Exa key for built-in web search. Alpha.3 on Nov 2 grows the list to 19 items, adding a built-in lightweight Markdown editor, loop playback for video blocks, configurable floating dock visibility and a command-line switch for the fixed-port proxy. No stable 3.8.9 appears in the feed, so rc.1 is the last visible milestone for that line.
◆ Where it's heading
SiYuan runs fast alpha and beta cycles where each build extends a cumulative list. The AI agent and databases get the larger features, while editor and mobile items fill the rest.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 3.8.10 alphas with a growing list before a beta; whether 3.8.9 ships as stable first is unclear from the feed.
