Similar sleek design as Raven Reader but unlike Raven Reader (as of Nov 2020) - actually works.

It's the best looking RSS reader for Windows. NB. it is an Electron app. There's also a (paid) Android version that also looks amazing.

There are visual inconsistencies in the UI. It is also important to note that it hasn't been updated since December 2021 and the last activity was from a month ago. Still recommend.

Really great App - I'm using it both on Android and on Windows. It has everything what I need - especially the modern, clean design - perfect for focused reading.
