It would be very nice if the user could set the font himself, the standard sans-serif font doesn't suit me very well for reading long texts, for example.

In order to be able to read with focus, a full-screen view would also be more comfortable, i.e. hiding the title and status bar.

Maybe it is possible to access the Reader View of Safari?
This has already optimized many typographic settings by default.

Wallabag:
wallabag view

Reader View Safari (iOS):

Actually, the reader's view is not available in this context.

I just tried the Readability from Mozilla but I'm not convinced from the result, what do you think ?

Thank you for taking up my idea.
I think the result with readability is already quite good, the module also allows many typographic adjustments and the main advantage is that it hides all non-content of web pages quite reliably.

But, personally, I have meanwhile set up my own solution apart from Wallabag for myself. In short, I use Shortcuts to let my Raspberry Pi generate epubs* from websites for me, which I can then read on the iPhone with all comfort.
