Draft: Show complete article with rdrview

Plata Hill requested to merge plata/alligator:rdrview into master

NOTE: This should not be merged. It's just a basis for discussion.

Many feeds do not contain the complete article text but only a teaser (e.g. https://www.heise.de/rss/heise.rdf). It is useful to fetch the complete article text such that you don't have to open the feed in the browser.

This proof of concept uses rdrview to achieve this.

Questions:

  • Shall such a feature be added to Alligator?
  • Shall it be part of Syndication?
  • How should it be implemented?
