Great RSS reader, but it lacks more advanced features to be the Swiss knife I wish it was. Namely: More per feed customization (I want newest first compact for news, but oldest first cards for comics!). Better UX (impossible to tell what is read and isn't. Save buttons should be on the top right. Why can't I uncheck unread? Actions are not contextualized like add feed in tag doesn't include tag by default.) Little broken things like bug report never load if you have the GitHub app installed.

Got this to replace Feedly, and it seems very good. My key reason for the change was to be able to download all the text from an article without the whole web page, which this app does perfectly. My only gripe is that in dark mode it's almost impossible to differentiate between read and unread articles in the Super Compact view. Greying the title text would definitely help.
