What is Akregator?

Akregator [userbase.kde.org/Akregator] is a free RSS client available for Linux, both natively and as a flatpak.

My Review of Akregator

A window titled Akregator. It has a left pane listing feeds, a top pane listing articles, and a bottom pane with rich text content, including a heading, paragraphs, a link, and an image. — A screenshot of Akregator running on Linux Mint. A bottom-right pane is a built-in web browser displaying the contents of the selected article.

Observations

No Maintainers for Ports: it seems Akregator used to be available for Windows, but it currently isn't due to lack of developers.

Akregator is available in all major Linux distribution repositories, as tarballs, and soon a Flatpak version will also be available. Ancient versions were compatible with Windows, the Kontact team is looking for help to improve Windows support.
