Honestly every RSS reader I've looked at kinda sucks. I think it might be the common design philosophy of a) splitting up feeds so you are only looking at one feed at a time and b) showing feed items like they are emails that need to be clicked on and opened in a separate pane.
I want an RSS reader that functions more like Twitter or even this site, but just in chronological order, not an email inbox.
Feeder is pretty good. Open source and available on F-Droid
Don't have an android, and I was thinking more for desktop.
RSS readers for desktop tend to be kinda meh. I think Firefox has something with bookmarks that kinda works? All the best ones seem to be mobile centers now though.
Looked it up and they killed it in December 2018 lmao
At this point I'm seriously considering trying to make my own thing in React or Angular or something.
If you want a starting point, here's the Feeder source
fluent reader is already in react but it's kinda buggy and needs some love
don't know what devices you are on but reeder can do exactly that.
