It's buried but to get the website in the app toggle command-D in the article pane (Menu bar: Article>Show Feed Content/Linked Article). You can also select and drag a headline down into that area a la Vienna and NNW. So there's a plus: keyboard access.

Still, a contextual menu item for "Show Linked Article" would be nice.

Another plus, you can select multiple headlines and right-click to open them in tabs (but only in web browser). Can't do that in Vienna nor Safari.

Guess I'll be playing for a while.

Help is a huge HELP! - CynicalPeak

Thanks for the suggestion of adding the contextual menu for displaying linked content. I'm so used to pressing cmd-D to do it that it never occurred to me.

In addition to cmd-D, you can also set the articles from a feed to always show their linked content. It is one of the setting for feeds in the Subscription Manager. It can be really helpful for some feeds. I have it turned on for a couple of the comic strip feeds that I subscribe to since I'm mainly interested in the strip and they don't include it in the feed.

I just discovered the show permalink setting. This is great. The other apps I've liked that do this are buggy (Stryker) and RAM hungry (Ensemble2).
