would require much. Just three panes for feeds, entries and content, keeping

Pyferea is for you if you want:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- an offline feed reader
|
|
|
|
|
- no gnome, KDE, mono dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
- no rss reader as a browser plugin
|
|
|
|
|
- not terminal based, hence webbrowser for rendering
