Checklist

[x] I checked, but didn't find any duplicates (open OR closed) of this issue in the repo.
[X] This issue contains only one feature reqest. I will open one issue for every feature I want to request.

What feature do you want?

I want to be able to load the full article in app, because some feeds just say what the article is about and tell you to go to the actual article, like OMG! Ubuntu!, Ionic, and ItsFOSS

Why do you want this feature?

Because i like the apps's UI and would rather read these feeds in app than having to open a web browser to read them with its less than ideal UI

Yes, if this app could add the option to get the full text of Rss, then it would be the perfect Android Rss reading in my mind, its nice and simple interface has impressed me deeply.

In most cases you can use feed expansion services like feedex or fivefilters to have a full text feed.

There is no universal way to extract full article from an arbitrary website. A good example of high quality approach is Telegram's "Instant View", and it has a curated list of popular websites with individual extraction methods, as far as I know. The next release of News app will support embedded browser tabs, so it might be the best solution for now

Thanks @Kvasenok for your suggestions, I'll test it and, if it works well, maybe it's time to add a FAQ section with a bunch of tips and lifehacks like this one

I need this feature too! Feeder has this feature, but I prefer News app. I'd like to see News app also add this feature.

Apps like https://github.com/yanus171/Handy-News-Reader let you define css class in the settings for each domain to extract full text effectively, though its UI is kinda dated.
