This was exactly my problem as well, and after trying a bunch of mobile apps, I've finally settled on https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrewshu..... The UI is compact and keeps me from going insane while browsing.

Can you please share either the frequency list or the method you used to automate the deck generation? I've been looking to do something like this, perhaps with genanki.

I tried a bunch of them (Inoreader, Feedly, Oldreader, ttRSS) before settling on FreshRSS. It has a beautiful interface, don't need to use a dedicated mobile client as the website works perfectly and is self-hosted. Marks all the boxes for me.
I was in a similar boat until recently. One thing that has worked brilliantly for me is to use any service that gives you a notification/curates your feed for the top posts on HN. I personally use Pushbullet for this. Since I was already using it in my phone as well as my laptop and desktop (it's a pretty handy tool to share stuffs quickly between devices), I set up the Hacker News 500 channel which sends me notification for the top items on HN. I usually get 2-3 posts throughout the day, which is more than sufficient for me.

I encourage you to look into it: https://www.pushbullet.com/
