I set up the latter recently, specifically to track YouTube updates from certain channels, it works very nicely, but for news and blogs you don't tend to get full posts anymore. So it's constantly clicking through to browser and back again. Not ideal. Something like w3m and newsboat crossed, basically a browsable bookmarks list, might be a good compromise.
This project looks clean, as per Miniflux, I just worry about all the overhead of the setup and then not getting full posts to read...
