RSS feeds that don't suck on terminals

RSS news in the terminal

I'm building a list of RSS feeds that work in the terminal. +There are a lot of feeds out there but not all of the linked articles display well.

I'm using the Newsboat rss reader
I'm using the Ghostty terminal
I'm using the Chawan browser

Basically it's a question of whether the page linked in the RSS feed is displayed well in +a text browser, which isn't always the case. I find the Chawan text browser gives the best +web display in general and includes images, so I'm using it as a benchmark.

It's always possible to use rdrview to pre-format the text before sending to cha, +with browser "rdrview -B cha %u" in .newsboat/config, but this removes the images.

This is an ongoing task so it will probably end up as a static page

The list so far:
