How to inspect the RSS feed without subscribing it in a RSS reader?

Use the Inspector UI! Visit http://127.0.0.1/ and you'll be redirected.

You can also use extensions like rss preview.

Full-text doesn't work for my RSS reader

The full text is fetched into the description field of an RSS item. However, if the content field is present some RSS reader may render what's in content instead. To fix this, you can mask out the content field using a JS filter or replace its content with the description field:

      - js: |
          function modify_post(feed, post) {
            post.content = null;
            // Or,
            // post.content = post.description;
            return post;
          }

-w option and RSS_FUNNEL_WATCH="true" do not seem to work

Some editors (notably vim) save files in a way that doesn't interact well with the way rss-funnel watches the config file. Vim's behavior in this respect can be controlled by setting backupcopy=yes. The simplest way to make this option only affect the funnel.yaml file is to use a vim modeline inside that file:

# vim: backupcopy=yes
endpoints:
# Endpoints configured here
