I started using miniflux a while back, and enjoy it.
Recently I also gave News app on F-droid a try, and the combination of the two is one of the best news reading experiences I’ve had.
It works OK from the web page, but scrolling to the next item was a bit wonky for me. Using the swipe mode mis-fired when I was horisontally scrolling code. And double tapping didn’t always work.
The UX feels smoother in News. You also get thumbnail images. And you can open the link to the source directly, which I prefer for some of my feeds. For me, the experience is smoother.

I’ve been using miniflux for a while now ok Android, why should I prefer News app?
