  1. Make the "Mark as read" button look different if the post is marked read

    Currently, to tell whether a post is read or unread, one needs to read the text of the button to find the "un" inserted. This can also lead to not noticing when you've accidentally marked an item as read (by clicking the text).

    My suggestion is to make the button change color, or change the checkbox to an empty checkbox, or change the background of the feed item (preferable, unless the click text to mark read is made optional), so it's easier to tell whether the item is marked read.

  2. Don't scroll whole list on folder selection

    Select a folder in the middle and then use Shift+J/K to select another. All list scrolled. And hard to find out the target after list scrolled.

    Scrolling whole list is dizzy. Just move the color bar beside the folder name and scroll list only when article is outside the window.

  4. "Following" should show as a folder in the API

    I am using gReader, and unless it's a failure of their implementation (which is possible), there isn't a way to view anything from people I'm following. I should be able to access each of the people I'm following as separate feeds under a "Following" folder (or "tag" as gReader calls them).

  5. Fix the bug with the space bar

    After I select a feed, pressing the space bar opens the first unread, and then the next, and so on. This also leads to the open folder on the left panel to close.

  6. Interface / UI speed

    Seems to me that the interface could be fake-speeded up quite easily. Examples:

    1) If I mark all articles in a feed as read, the interface seems to be waiting for a response from TOR's server. But that's not necessary from a user's (and usability) point of view. Just hide that feed and that feed's articles on the user's computer locally. THEN send a message to TOR's server.

    2) Moving feeds seems to similarly be waiting for TOR server responses. Suggestion: Save all changes on the user's machine locally first, then collect all the changes and send them to TOR's…

  7. Remembering folder setting

    It would be good if OldReader remembers folder setting such as which one was opened, which one was closed in previous login. Right now, it opens all folders up on login.

  8. Add an option to fit images to width on a feed-by-feed basis.

    Add an option to fit images to width on a feed-by-feed basis.

    This would avoid the need to either squint at tiny images (e.g. comics) or use an excessive page zoom (which may interfere with other feeds).

  11. do not remember me (my email and password) automatically when I register, but rather offer it as an option (“Keep me signed in” checkbox).

    I’m a news junky and in order for me not to get constantly distracted by checking news, my wife lets me to check the reader at night, entering with her password, which I don’t know (we have only one computer). This is impossible with the current TOR because it remembers me/her instantly, and whenever I enter theoldreader.com, I am immediately led to my account with all the subscriptions.

  12. Improve Multilingual Search

    Currently searching functionality in Japanese does not work properly.

    For example, Search with the keyword '東京'(Tokyo), the search result shows the feeds which contain any of '東' or '京'.

    Please improve this functionality to get correct search result.

  13. .. bigger preview pictures for youtube feeds (like it was in google reader).

    But please do not use the actual video as feed content like "feedly" did since that takes much too long to load if you only want to quickly look through your feeds.

  14. while you reading a post (aka A) and then scroll up and click space, you get a post (the top one you can see) that you just read expanded

    while you reading a post ( aka A) and then scroll up and click space, you get a post (the top one you can see, aka B) that you just read expanded, not the next one blow A (read or unread).

  16. Google Calendar feed coming through in German

    Looks like you are stripping the "?hl=en" from the end of my Google Calendar feed and instead adding "?max-results=25". For whatever reason, this is making the "Where/When/Description" labels to get posted to The Old Reader in German rather than English.

  18. Put a "mark all as read" button at the bottom of the list of posts.

    If there are a lot of long posts it takes a long time to scroll all the way back to the top on Android.

  19. Space bar should work like in Google Reder

    Space is the ultimate navigation tool in Google Reader. It works like the N key but when the post is not fully visible, it scrolls down instead of jumping to the next post. And then at the end of the feed it jumps directly to ne next feed.

    This there things allow me to navigate and read my news very fast and with only one key.

  20. keyboard shortcut for next new post

    Since the feeds are updated with posts at differing times, there are new posts that get lost among already read/old/recent posts when the reader updates. Instead of assigning j,n/k,p for next and previous posts, it would be convenient to have the ability to jump to the next new or unread post with (n,p) and then keep (j,k) for next and previous post.
