I find FeedMe app on android very useful. It doesn't have any trackers or analytics collection. On desktop I use NewsFlash (Linux). Having a self hosted miniflux instance .. Both client communicate through fever api of miniflux
I'm using FeedMe. It provides notifications, and this is customizable per feed. It shows the name of the feed as well as the number of new items.
It doesn't show the headline though. You could ask for this feature if required.
It means you use the app often.
so i screwed up, it's not auto syncing properly for me either if the app is in the background. it's reported as a bug on FeedMe's GitHub though
it's supposed to be fixed but i don't see anything about it
https://github.com/seazon/FeedMe/issues/54
Auto sync works on my other devices though without any problems (Android 6 and 7) so this has to do with some battery saving feature in Android 9. And I don't know how to fix it
