Just like its namesake, Capy Reader is a small RSS reader focused on approachability and simplicity.Some features include:
• Syncing via Feedbin, FreshRSS, or directly to your device
• Track read and starred articles
• Article search
• Notifications
• Full content mode
• Dark mode
• Big screen support
WhatsNew:
• Add full-content parser for 9to5google.com
• Update parsing for YouTube on local feeds
• Update drawer refresh button animation
• Update translations for Bulgarian, Czech, Spanish, Estonian, French, Galician, Italian, Polish, Russian and Chinese thanks to volunteers.
• Improve notification cleanup on "Mark as read"
• Fix letter casing bug when editing multiple tags with the same name
Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).

library to reduce the number of nested views needed.
- Coordinatorlayout (UI Component)
AndroidX library to position top-level application widgets, such as AppBarLayout and FloatingActionButton.
- Androidx Core (Utility)
a static library that you can add to your Android application in order to use APIs that are either not available for older platform versions or utility APIs that aren't a part of the framework APIs.
