You may be curious to try Offpunk: https://sr.ht/~lioploum/offpunk/

Offpunk allows to subscribe to a RSS and read the full html page directly in console, including browsing the website and having pictures displayed as "sixels" (works best with the terminal "kitty"). It also allows to read all of that offline and get all the new posts in a "tour".

Nice! Just downloaded and playing with it now. But there's nothing in readme about enabling nice image display in kitty. Any advice?

installing chafa.

Then, when you open a picture in offpunk, it will be perfectly rendered. (inline images will still be displayed as "sixels")
