Based on your must-have list, a good low-tech solution might be an RSS to email gateway.
Then your mail client becomes your RSS client. Gmail has j/k key bindings, is relatively unadorned, and facilitates your skim / skip workflow. Excerpts might require some work, but perhaps you could coerce them into the subject line.
Aaron Swartz wrote a nice RSS to email gateway btw: http://www.allthingsrss.com/rss2email/ http://www.allthingsrss.com/rss2email/
I have a crappier one that delivers directly into a Maildir, and I use it to read news in mutt: http://search.cpan.org/~acg/rssdrop-0.2/rssdrop http://search.cpan.org/~acg/rssdrop-0.2/rssdrop

- egh 14y agoI'm surprised more people don't do this. It's pretty easy to set up. Here's a little bit I wrote about using rss2email + emacs. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/HOWTOReadFeedsInEmacsViaEmail http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/HOWTOReadFeedsInEmacsViaEmail
- quotemstr 14y ago"Low-tech"? Email is the best way to read RSS! Email has all the features of high-end RSS headers: * Remember your read messages, even across clients * Star and read for later * Cross-platform * Configurable archiving * Keyword filtering * Search past articles * Organize feeds into folders using configurable rules * Social! (Use the "forward" button.) What's not to like about email?
