What would be the perfect desktop RSS application?

I've recently gotten back into one of my projects where I'm trying to build an #RSS reader with Rust & Iced
Things are coming together nicely since that last post...

  • Items are now properly stored in a DB and actually retrieved for display
  • I've written a module that parses description/content areas to build the layout (this was HARD!)
  • It seems to work well with many feeds I'm testing out.

I really just need to get to the grind of completing it and adding the necessary features. But I'd love feedback from fellow open web enjoyers.

If you have any thoughts on must-have features I'd love to hear them.
My current dream list is:

  • First-class #Tor & #I2P support with other options configurable (**I would really like suggestions on how to handle this well)
  • Full text search (to be useful as a personal search engine)
  • Import from FreshRSS (for entirely selfish reasons)
  • Discovery features: the plan is to setup a way to discover feeds that your feeds link to.
