    This might not fit your workflow, but Thunderbird can be used as an RSS reader. Go to File > New and add a new Feed Account

      I was hoping for this to work but it doesn’t parse the full content. Weirdly also it didn’t import correctly the opml file, the folders where there but they didn’t have the rss link.

        I just imported an .opml with folders into Tbird 102.13.1 and the items in the folders were there. I don’t know about the parse full content part.

    FreshRss! It’s a selfhostable web app/server with a browser reader.

    The full text extraction takes some technical fiddling and reading, but it works like a charm!

    Miniflux has grown on me https://miniflux.app/

    I run it in docker and access from browser. It says it can automatically download the whole article. For me I have to hit download button each time, maybe I missed some configuration.

    If you self-host services, I recommend it

      I recently moved from FreshRSS to Miniflux and the matrix integration is a godsend. Having miniflux automatically send everything to element instead of having a dedicated RSS client is great

      Miniflux submit selected articles to Wallabag for later reading. I also use the Newsboat CLI client which can sync with Miniflux installations as an alternative to the web interface it’s comfortable.

    I tend to use either Newsboat or Elfeed. The first one is command line, the second is Emacs. So they’re both text-based. Might not be precisely what you’re looking for, but with the right choice of terminal font and easy-on-the-eyes colours, I find it a pleasant reading experience without distraction.

    I’m a fan of KDEs Akregator. It does a great job as a feed reader and shows the contwnt of an entry in a simplified reader mode. However some feeds jist dont display the full arricle in their feed entries so you’d have to follow a link there. But even thats sth that makes Akregator awesome: you can specify the command thats used to follow a link and most browsers have the option to open a page in reader mode via the commandline. So from what I gathered thia should pretty much do all you want it to and then some.

    Anyone else remember Google Reader? Not OP’s question, I know, but holy shit was Google Reader good times.
