If that's what you want, I recommend tt-rss: https://tt-rss.org/gitlab/fox/tt-rss/wikis/home

It may be a bit overkill to run on your PC, but I don't know of a better program for that. I also sync it to my tablet every day for offline reading.

I came here checking to see if this could be a replacement for ttrss... But no. it appears that ttrss wins in the "just give me the rss feeds I want" category for me.

I’d recommend you too to take a look at Nextcloud News then: https://github.com/nextcloud/news/#nextcloud-news-app :)

Good to know! I use nextcloud, but it is performing TERRIBLY on my raspberry pi 3. I need to see about recreating the setup they use on the nextcloud box.

Is this better than ttrss? or just different? Worth the hassle of migrating things?

Interesting. How do you sync it to your tablet?

Do you get the full article each time for offline reading? If so what part is responsible for this? tt-rss or your client?

tt-rss has a cron that pulls the new feeds down, and then ties into a web-server that you can view the feeds on.

I have it sync to my android client via an app. I just put the web-server settings in, and it syncs.

Which android app? How do you deal with sites that serve up partial content in the feed, making you visit the site?

I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ttrssreade...

I just don't look at those feeds until I'm online again. It's generally not an issue for me personally.

hmm. I think I need to abuse one of the real clients like feedly by giving it a url to my washed rss feed as this does offline content but doesn't deal with sites that serve partial content through rss.
