Отличный форк. Еще бы осовременить дизайн. Особенно хорошо бы добавить темную тему.

Superb, this does the job in a simple, tidy and logical manner with all the needed features. After using some fiddly, buggy and annoying ones, this is finally it. Thanks. Only improvement I could think of is an option to select/delete read articles.
