Thoughts after 20 min of use:

I like how simple the UX is, there's just a no-bells-and-whistles presentation, which is good. Thanks for not implementing accounts and data collection, as well. This is a big selling point for me on anything I use these days, although I admittedly see where account creation is useful, so I am a bit more forgiving on that.

My complaints are that it seems cumbersome to add your own sources. Darkmode also seems to be missing? These days, this should be the default mode for any reader app, let the users who want to suffer a blinding white background turn it on if they wish. The "mark all as read" button is in an awkward spot, too easy to fat-thumb when scrolling right handed. Maybe next that in a hamburger menu along with other customization options.

Great start, for sure, and so far it feels like a "cleaner" experience than other mobile RSS readers I've tried recently. I'm not necessarily interested in device syncing, but I can see where some users might want that, though that would require some kind of account or token implementation.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to see that ux is appreciated. I agree that adding sources could be simplified, it's my least favorite part to implement and I notice it shows. For the Darkmode there is one, you need to press the 3 dots at the top right, select settings and then press the first parameter "Night Mode". However, I don't think it's a good idea to make it the default, as some people find it harder to read text written in white, and there's a lot of debate on the subject on which is better. For the button, I was inspired by other popular applications that also put a button there, if the button is too distracting, it can be hidden from the settings, it's the setting below "Night Mode" which is "Display Read-All Button" but indeed the Hamburger menu could be better exploited. If there's synchronization, you'll need an account, but you'll still be able to access the application even if you don't have an account. Synchronization also requires servers, so it would have a cost. The application should be profitable enough, so it's hard to envisage this feature at the moment.
