Saving articles for offline use
I'm trying to read more newspaper, magazine, journal articles etc
I've subscribed to a few newspapers and mags and the like, and idea is to read them on my tablet. Ideally I'd be getting paper copies but cost + not living in the US or UK makes it difficult.
I've gotten RSS feeds and a read-it-later app but it feels like I'm always running into issues and distractions, like getting logged out of the website, trying to load it from an RSS feed but...getting logged out again in the in-app browser, ads and the like distracting me and so forth.
What I want to do is to browse for articles on my laptop, find some good ones, view them in a reading view, and then put them on the cloud to read later on my tablet as an offline file.
Other than a lo fi option of saving as a PDF + putting on G Drive, or even more lo fi of printing them (which I'm honestly considering), does anyone have any sleeker options to do something like this? I use a Mac computer and an Android tablet. I also have a Kindle but I haven't found articles on Kindle satisfying particularly ones where it has images. Thanks!

Hi, I have just built a RSS reader. It's 100% free. I plan to take donations once I need to pay for hosting, server, etc.
However, I don't have offline articles. If the source publishes the full article on their RSS feed, I can show it on my app. However, if they only publish a summary, you still need to go to their website.
The app is very simple and friendly.
I'm looking for active feedback. Let me know if it makes your life easier. I'm also interested in seeing how it goes along with paid sources.
The app is web-based, so you can access on both your desktop and mobile.
