That way I get local copies I can search (via my mailbox), and don't have to worry about maintaining state of all the feeds when I move computer. (i.e. Client on computer one might regard some feeds as new/unseen, even though I read them on my mobile.)
The only variants are popular, because you get the same experience from every device to sync subscribed feeds, read/unread counts etc.
You could host such a service yourself with something like tinytinyrss for example[0].
But you can just as well use any feed reader available for your platform of choice. Thunderbird for example has provided this feature for ages besides email.
They do of course also exist as terminal applications. One example would be newsboat[1].
I use it every day to sync between my devices via the Fever API it supports and it works great for years already.
I don't want to host something myself.
If I have to, I would just make a service that reads and re-outputs the feed with appropriate cors headers so I can style it client side.
Maybe the author reads this and would consider adding the cors headers?
But that said, for the longest time, firefox did just style the feed directly and I am still sad they removed this. Maybe there is a browser plugin which just adds the style back?

XHR is a pretty decent api that ignores CORS[1]
GM.xmlHttpRequest({
method: "GET",
url: "http://www.example.com/",
onload: function(response){alert(response.responseText)}
});
The best way would be if I could make a little html page that fetches and renders them. But they do not provide the appropriate cors headers so that fails:

So one would have to fetch them serverside and send it back to the frontend to read it.
Is there a rss reader which you can use without logging in? I don't keep cookies around, so logging in every time I want to look at one of these feeds would by annoying.
Ideally it would offer to put in the feed via a url like this:
coolreader.com/?url=hnrss.org/frontpage&fields=title,link
And then shows one row for each entry with title and link.
Or maybe there is a command line tool which will do this for the terminal?
