up arrow behaviour
Strange behaviour of up and down arrow makes mixed arrow/scrollwheel navigation a bit confusing.
The up arrow seems to not move to the "next unopened item" in the list, but to the "first item in the list that is visible in the current viewable area".
Let's say I am scrolling a long list of items: some are visible on screen, some titles are up (outside of the viewable list), some are down: if I open a post, its title wil be aligned to the top of viewable area.
If then I scroll the page a bit up, revealing headlines of…1 vote -

The feed at the top of the list is selected.NOTES

Fix "Clicking on a post scrolls to it" (again)
I appreciate that the "Clicking on a post scrolls to it" feature was improved, but the behavior is still not what I expect (i.e.: not the way Google Reader works, anyway).
Right now, the implementation seems to be "if a post's title is lower than the top of the reading pane and the post is clicked, scroll to it". This is a problem because I can be reading a post that is in the middle of the reading pane, select text, and boom it slides up, which is clearly unwanted. Also, it only works one way: when clicking on the…

On mobile web interface, scroll to top of opened item
When I click to open a new item on the mobile safari version of the old reader, it closes the previously open item, collapsing it, and opens the new item, expanding it. Where the item's first line of text shows up, however, is completely random. When you open an article, the page should go directly to the top of that new article. The current behavior is maddening.

Emulate Google Reader "compact view"
Google reader had a function call "compact view" and it compresses the headlines into a more e-mail like format.

Have a "Next New" bookmarklet
I use Google Reader's "Next" button, that you can find under the goodies section. Once in my bookmark bar, I can click it to take me to the latest updates- on the actual blog or site. I love giving the sites hits and just visiting them.

Mark as all as read by date option
In Google reader, until it's unfortunate demise, you can "mark all as read" but choose "items older than x." When sometimes you come online after days away from your feeds (vacation, a great weekend, long work binges, etc.) that is an incredibly useful feature.

Show subscriber count and posts per week
One nice feature of Google Reader is you can tell how popular a feed is (or whether you've clicked the wrong one by accident) based on subscriber count. Also, if you show posts per week, I know I won't subscribe to one that inundates me with articles. Thanks.

Package your app as a Firefox OS app
And releases it in the Firefox OS marketplace - currently it lacks a good feed reader and since you are already web based it should be pretty easy to get an app of the ground using some responsive designing and then you can iterate on it from there.

Add "Mark Previous as Read" feature
This is a feature in Google's Android app, but NOT their web interface (????). But it is OH SO helpful.
Say you have 900 unread items, but only time to scan over 300 and read 15. With this, you can scroll through the listing, check out interesting titles, skip the rest, then hit "mark previous as read" when you have to leave. Next time you come back, you start right where you left off.
It is, in my own opinion, a much more "powerful" feature than "Mark All as Read."

Move the comment button
Right now, the comment button is too close to "unshare", and it's possible to misclick on unshare by mistake.
If you could put "comment" somewhere else, maybe on the same level, to the right of unshare, it would be nice.

Bing alerts
More of an issue I haven't been able to find a solution for. It seems that when I try to grab an RSS feed from Bing News "Subscribe by RSS" and add that one subscription to The Old Reader "Add a Subscription", The Old Reader won't accept the subscription - I can't add to my subscription list at all. I'm not sure if this is a problem other folks have run into, but would love any insight/solutions.
