RIP Google Reader
All these years later, I still use the Google Reader frontend (with newsblur as the backend).
It turns out that Reader's UI assets were stand alone enough that you could just implement the backend API and it all would work.
I saw this originally in a project for viewing your Reader Takeout data[1], and just built on that idea to make my own personal Google Reader experience.

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.
