The top five RSS readers for keeping up with your news feeds
(www.theverge.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
It's sad how there's basically no good local RSS readers anymore, only paid subscription based ones or self-host solutions. At least on Windows that is.
Fluent Reader. I use it with freshrss myself but it is just as good using it fully local.
Fluent Reader would be perfect if it could start on log on and run in the background, but the dev seems to not care about that so...
Just paste a shortcut inside the startup folder? Type shell:startup in the explorer address bar.
On Windows, I've been very happy with RSSOwlnix, even though it hasn't seen any changes in 2 years.

Yeah. Anything worth developing takes up quite a bit of time and doing that for free doesn't really work out for many devs. Only one I can think of that's close to what you mentioned is maybe Thunderbird?
