↳ In-reply-to » 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.

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.
