- I would also humbly recommend my own writing project, link in my profile if you're inetrested I also recommend looking at Morss.it (https://morss.it/) if there is a site you want to subscribe to without a feed. It generally works very well (RSS Bridge and RSS Hub serve the same purpose if you want to self-host). - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
However you can retrofit this onto any reader by using a service that creates a full text feed from a summary feed. Two that I have used in the past are https://morss.it/ and https://www.fivefilters.org/full-text-rss/. Source: about 1 year ago
FreshRss with FullTextRss / https://morss.it (for full page scrapping in rss fed). Source: about 1 year ago
FeedMail supports scraping the full text articles via a per-feed option in the interface. However you can also use something like ftr.fivefilters.net or morss.it to turn any feed into a full-text feed, then you can use that in any reader, even if it doesn't support scraping full text itself.

If you want to make summary feeds full-text there is often an option in your feed reader. Alternative you can use services such as morss.it or Full-Text RSS Feeds to take a summary feed and output a full-text feed. Source: over 1 year ago
