I do the opposite (eg, I read HN via RSS), and definitely don't want to see all of the content.

My reader (newsboat) is good at showing items at-most-once, and (at least the way I use it) punts to a browser to display content on the rare occasions I have further interest. Does this count as sufficiently-non-email-clienty for TFA's purposes?

Oh, I don't want to read all of the items. I tend to mark 90% as read as a first pass.

But I want to see the headlines/first couple of lines for all of them, so I can decide which ones I want to read in detail.

I built my own feed hydrator (not my term, but love it) for HN that adds the opengraph info from the targe link along with points + comment counts, all cached in SQLite

Then it lets me filter with different criteria, the default is a ratio of points+comments that keeps the chaff out.
