What news aggregators do you all use? I am looking for one that has no integrated web engine and an easy way to open an entry in a Web browser or in mpv. I don’t want to have to choose one or the other.

My new theory of “how to make the internet better, for me personally” is an “offline first” strategy that IN THEORY rss should be perfect for. However about half my feeds don’t include their page content in the feed. Isn’t that a pain?

Thank you all for the suggestions. I settled on Newsboat. You can set a macro to make mpv the browser, open the selected item in the browser, and change it back. It’s a bit of a hack, but it works. In ~/.newsboat/config:

macro m set browser "mpv --no-terminal %u &" ; open-in-browser ; set browser "xdg-open %u" -- "Open in MPV"

It even appears in the help menu with a helpful description.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @will@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I hope you gentlemen don’t follow my RSS feed then. It has no content because I write it by hand. :)
