SparkReader is an RSS reader based on Raven reader. For China GFW reason, it cancelled the full-text grab of Mecury api (it is recommended use the full-text RSS on server side) . Key Enhancements / Modifications:
- supports the Fever API and syncing with self-host RSS servers like minilux and Tiny Tiny RSS
- supports global proxies
- uses linvodb3(leveldb) database for better performance
- keyboard shortcuts support, reading more efficient
- multi-account support (local, Fever)
- a series of robustness and interaction details improvements (refer to MacOS Reeder)
SCREENSHOT
The first installation defaults to a local account, and you can manually add the fever server configuration for now.

The main reason development of this application:
- Reeder from MacOS is a good choice, but Reeder doesn't have a windows version
- Feeddemon on windows is great, too, but it doesn't support Fever API
- Miniflux's web ui is too simple, and the page loading is not so fast, unlike the local application
