can someone suggest a good rss reader for android please?
As far as full-text caching... maybe a self-hosted instance or paid version of the FiveFilters Full-Text RSS service would work. You can integrate that into whatever aggregator you want.

Help Finding the Best RSS App Mac/iOS
However you can retrofit this onto any reader by using a service that creates a full text feed from a summary feed. Two that I have used in the past are https://morss.it/ and https://www.fivefilters.org/full-text-rss/.

How to rebuild social media on top of RSS
RSS feeds that don't contain the full article text drive me nuts.
Here is a workaround that I've had good luck with:
https://www.fivefilters.org/full-text-rss/
In addition to improving usability, it defeats attempts to measure clickbait summary efficacy, etc., since it breaks sites' ability to pull popularity / telemetry info.

RSS-Bridge: feeds for websites that don't have one
By any chance, could this be used as an alternative to the full-article RSS tool that FiveFilters offers?

NetNewsWire: Free and Open Source RSS Reader for Mac and iOS
Please check out FullTextRSS from Five Filters: https://www.fivefilters.org/full-text-rss/
They have an OSS version you can host yourself. It fixes the problem of sites not sharing their full text in their feed, by going and scraping the site into a full feed for you.

Show HN: Newser, utility written in go to generate a pdf with news content
This is great!
If it's useful, I work on a project where we maintain a repository of XPath selectors for extracting article content from many different sites: https://github.com/fivefilters/ftr-site-config - they're based on the original public Instapaper rules.
We also have PDF generation, but it's not really for crawling, and wasn't created for reading on a device like the Supernote, more for printing and reading: https://pdf.fivefilters.org/simple-print/

Best RSS experience?
To accomplish full-text I ended up purchasing a license for https://www.fivefilters.org/full-text-rss/, self host it and bounce it through a docker container running Tor+privproxy which generates a new circuit every 10 minutes to help avoid IP based limits on certain websites I subscribe to. I can also disable the Tor bounce per-feed if needed.

The most underused browser feature
Thanks for mentioning Instant View, I hadn't come across that. We actually maintain something similar here: https://github.com/fivefilters/ftr-site-config
We use these in our own tools and also get contributions from others, including Wallabag users: https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag
Before it was sold, Instapaper used to have something similar. A public database of its site-specific extraction templates. We used that as the starting point for our repository.

A 4 minute introduction to RSS
If you're trying to build one yourself, have a look at the open source Readability code[1]. It was originally developed by Arc90 and is now used by Apple and Mozilla in their browser reader views. The code has been ported to a number of different languages.
I work on a service called Full-Text RSS[2] that used a PHP port of Readability, coupled with site-specific extraction rules[3] to identify and extract article content from each feed item. It then produces a full-text version of the given feed. The idea is you subscribe to the full-text version in whichever feed reader you use and it will transparently give you full-text articles where you had partial content before.

The Old Reader
Fraidycat looks good, though it's more like a client than a self-hosted service. I especially like that it can follow / aggregate a bunch of different types of sources. https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat

RSS-Bridge – The RSS feed for websites missing it
Wonder what's are the differences from https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub and https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat
I guess projects might have different goals in mind, but IMO would be nice to share the scrapers among the projects

A 4 minute introduction to RSS
If you're interested in furthering RSS (and Atom, JSON Feed) - one way to help this along is to continue extending it to bring it modern. For instance, I've documented an extension for adding temporary 'status' to the feed - useful for pinned posts or broadcasting that a livestream is beginning.
https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/wiki/RSS-Atom-Exten...
It feels like there is still a lot of room to extend these formats - part of the advantage to them is how easily they can be extended. The media enclosure extension is the reason they've been so useful for podcast subscriptions.
