Preview list mode available? #396

First off, very cool application, will probably replace (the also cool) Selfoss on my system.

Is it possible to have a preview list mode that shows the first few sentences of an entry and adds a "read more" to the source? The feeds I have are typically are long articles thus the expanded view is not very practical. However the list view seems a bit too condensed.

I guess you have 2 solutions for that using a custom css: https://tontof.net/kriss/feed/#css-user

in expanded view, you can add a fixed height with a scroll
```
.item-content {
max-height: 250px;
overflow: auto;
}
```
in list view (with + as read more), you can display the condensed preview differently with that for example:
```
.item-description {display: block;}
.item-info {white-space: normal;}
.muted{color:#000;}
```

The first one works nicely, but I don't really like the "scroll within scroll" type of user experience.

The second one I can't get to work. When I add that to the user.css the first sentence link disappears instead of becoming longer below the title.

But thanks a lot for the help, I'll experiment a bit with the CSS.

The second should be like this: https://tontof.net/feed/?currentHash=IczCNA&view=list You have around 4 lines and when you click or press space it expands

Ok, I see now. Doesn't work with the greader or the orangina-rouge css file though.

Edit: Works with the bootstap .css which is fine if I adapt the color theme and the buttons a bit. Thanks for the help.
