I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  2. Small UX issue while navigating with "n" key at end of a feed

    When using scrollbar you will see the "No posts below this line. Probably you have read them all." when you reach the end of the feed.

    But when using "n" key to navigate from article to article, you won't never know that you reached it. Nothing to inform/warn you.

    It happens to me when I'm reading a feed where the last post does not fit in the screen (it may contain images or a lot of text, that prevent you to see the bottom of the article), you won't see the "end of feed" message.

    Then you will try to…

  3. Fix infinite scroll preloader behaviour

    You are using infinite scroll, it's great.

    Which means, you load X element, then when we are close to the end of the loaded elements, you are preloading the next X elements, and so on.

    But if you are using "n" key to navigate into a feed, you may face the following issue.

    Let say that you want to read a feed that contains a lot of articles thats contain a lot of text or images

    You may consider that few of them are interesting, then by reading the title you will know that you don't need to read the…

  4. Prevent the username field from auto-completing on Android during login

    When I login with Chrome on Android 4.4.2, I use my email address as my username:

    Username: foobar@example.com

    But, when I type the period as part of dot com, Android thinks I am writing a sentence and proceeds to autocorrect the email address, typically replacing it with something like:

    Username: foo bar @ example.

    Yes, a backspace immediately after the period will undo the autocorrect, but I typically am looking at the keyboard and I don't notice the mistake until it is too late.

  5. Add Subscription directly to a folder

    It would be nice to be able to add a new subscription directly to folders you already have.

    Either via some shortcut like '###<foldername>' at the end of the URL or surface it as a dropdown in the Add Subscription UI.

  6. log in

    Use regular log in fields, rather than whatever it is you do with the overlay. Neither Keypass nor Lastpass detects the fields, which is a huge annoyance.

  8. Make text links clickable.

    Google Reader automatically converted any pure text url's in posts into clickable links.

    Is it possible for The Old Reader to do the same?

    Many posts, Twitter feeds for instance but also others, come with a plain text url. This means I spend a lot of time highlighting the url in Firefox and then right-clicking to select Open url in new Tab.

    Random example: The Pacific barreleye fish has a transparent head… http://t.co/9ivzg8aSb6

    I hope its possible to add this feature.

  13. Display current feed in page title

    Currently the page title always stays the same when switching between feeds, i.e. the number of total unread stories followed by "The Old Reader". It would be great to add the current feed title, which would for example enable me to search for them in Firefox's location bar.

  14. Define folder names and feed names more clearly

    Either the folder name needs to "leap out" more, or the feeds should be indented a little. I find it difficult to see at a glance where the headings/feeds start and end.

    Love The Old Reader!

  15. allow an option to not show a feed in the 'dead links' section

    I am subscribed to feeds that are very infrequently updated. I'd like to be able to mark a feed so that it won't show up in my dead feeds list.

  16. add a button "go to website" at the end of each feed, so it will b faster to click on it than go up to post title on long post.

    especially on mobile device, it is cumbersome to go up to the post title on long post to be able to click on it and go to the original website (for example to access comments)

  17. List duplicate feeds for removal.

    After a recent import and feed-adding-spree, I've ended up with a lot of duplicate feeds. Most of them are due to the websites changing their feed URL, and some seem to have the same feed URL.

    It would be great if TOR could find feeds with the same posts and provide a list so the duplicates can be easily reviewed and removed.

    Possibly also show feeds which are a subset of other feeds, so you can remove the subset feed if it's covered by a full feed already.

    Let me know if you need more information :-)

  18. Add a "Go to article" button at bottom of article

    Often after reading a long article in tOR, I want to go to the original blog to make a comment. However, I have to scroll back up to the beginning to get to the link. I'd like a button next to the star/mark as read/send to/etc. buttons that will take me to the original article.
