  1. Sort folders as GR did: By feed order by date, not all feeds collectively by date

    Group each feed in a folder together in the order in which it is arranged. When changing the sort order by date, retain the feed order in the folder. This is how GR did it.

    Currently, viewing the feed of a folder does not reflect the order of the folder; manually ordering the folder structure does not affect the feed order. This is not how GR did it.

  2. Publicly share/export folders

    I am a web developer that has been using Google Reader as an RSS feed aggregator, that then provides specific aggregated feeds to display on websites. To give an example, I have aggregated about 30 different feeds providing news about the media in Greece. I then take the single, aggregated folder from Google Reader, and using a script on my website, all of the articles from that folder are displayed, in a customized format that matches the design and layout of the site.

    I'm not a professional, so some of the technical terminology and understanding may elude me, but through…

  3. Links in Firefox open in Background tabs

    When I control-click a link in a post it opens in a new tab, but it takes me to that tab. Then I have to make my way back to TOR. Instead, have the link open in a tab in the background. This happens in Chrome but not in FF for some reason.

  5. Please unbold/grey/change color of headlines that have been opened and read.

    Please differentiate between headlines that have been clicked on, and read, as opposed to those that aren't clicked on.

    It seems the green tag (unread) disappears after the headline is loaded, but headlines should only be marked "read" after being clicked on.

  6. make the scrollbars work better

    When I drag the scroll bar handle all the way down....it stops at the bottom but there is plenty more to read further down. If I then use my mouse wheel to go further - the scroll bar handle pops up to the center AND so does the content I already looked at....so dragging the scroll bar all the way down again does not let me see more content.

  9. Mark item as read when opening it via keyboard shortcut

    If I open an item in a new tab/window, I don't want to also have to mark it as read. If I open it, it's obviously for reading. The keyboard shortcuts make it easy enough to mark something as unread if a user wants to open something without marking it as read, but the default should assume that "opening" == "reading".

  10. Allow users to add new feeds directly to a folder rather than making them add each feed and then move it to a folder.

  11. Make the Titles a different color than the article text

    Just so it's easier to see where a post ends when you're scrolling past it. I believe the ones in Google Reader were blue. You could do green!

  12. deduplicate posts across feeds

    Sometimes you get the same post from different feeds - mainly because of planet * feed aggregators. It would be nice if such posts were only displayed once.

    The comparison should probably be based only on the message content itself, as posts titles and other metadata may vary.

  14. speed up the UI when rearranging feeds

    The UI hangs when I am rearranding a feed (e.g. dragging and dropping a feed into a folder or between folders). I have to keep the mouse pressed until it shows signs of moving.

  16. Do not reset cursor in "show unread only"

    When current feed disappears from the menu, do not reset the cursor. Instead, jump to the next feed or avoid hiding the feed until you move off of it.

  17. Export Liked

    I would like to be able to export my Liked articles, in a way that allows them to be imported into another service. I see this is done already for feeds (OPML) and Shared (RSS), so I think adding of export of Liked would be a big step toward being to export all of a users data.

  20. Notification after hitting the "add to Pocket" hotkey

    Would be nice to show a msg like "Article sent to Pocket" after hitting the "f" hotkey for "Add to pocket"... I found myself sometimes repeatedly hitting the "f" key just to make sure that the article is sent... Thank you! =)
