Add mechanism to modify feeds
It would be nice if we could modify the feeds contents after being retrieved. Some feeds like the ones from Youtube contain lots of information, but not in any place that's usable. I would like to be able to apply some XSLT to the entries to create a modified entry with the information I want.

Please Offer:Pay with Alipay for Premium Account
I am from China and willing to upgrade to premium account.
The problem is: I don't have a paypal account and I DO NOT want to create one.
Instead, why not you guys provide an additional option: Pay with Alipay from Alibaba?
According to Credit Suisse, the total value of online transactions in China grew from an insignificant size in 2008 to around RMB 4 trillion (US$660 billion) in 2012. Most of them are Alipay account holders.
OR please read this news on Market Watch on Feb. 2014:
Sorry PayPal: China’s Alipay is world’s No. 1

Please help ~

Bulk Edit: Mark as Unread/Read/Highlight Multiple Items
I would really love to be able to Ctrl or Shift Click to select multiple items in my feed (or even just use an old fashioned check box) so I could select either Mark as Read or Mark as Unread. I understand that you have chosen to limit the number of unread articles per account (though don't really understand why) but to stay on top of feeds, bulk editing is therefore very necessary. Others have suggested bulk actions, but marking unread is as important if you're going to artificially enforce "mark as read" on articles I haven't, actually, read!

Sort bookmarks by name of the channel from which they are added
Because when a large number of bookmarks in them difficult to navigate. And so it would be very easy to open bookmarks and see the channels marked with the news, and then expand the desired channel and access all bookmarks with this channel.

make it possible to link to original sharer when sharing other's people posts
Very frequently, I see people sharing items and posting in their comments something like "via Joe Smith". It would be nice (although maybe not easy) to have a way of automatically link to Joe Smith profile instead.

Highlight Current Spritz Word
When Sprtizing, the context of the word in the article gets lost. I don't know where in a paragraph I am, I don't know where in the article I am... I just lose so much context I have with "traditional" left/right scanning.
If the current Spritz word were highlighted, the speed benefits of Spritz would combine with the context of the article, helping me parse more information.

allow certain feeds to be imported as already read
I determine which posts to read by their read/unread status but I have a number of feeds which I don't need to read very often - I tend to let them accumulate and then browse through picking out the interesting stories. This means that my 'unread' total grows when, in fact, I have read everything that is currently interesting.
If I could set these feeds to import as already read, I would still know that they were there and go and check them periodically and my 'unread posts' would actually be the ones that I am interested in checking as…

Mute comments from selected users
Some people comment so frequently with such little substance that I would like to be able to mute that user such that "Commented" won't update/increment if they have left a comment. Unfollowing isn't the solution, as the Comments section will show updates if people you don't follow comment on something shared by people you do follow.
To simplify implementation, you could still retain that user's comments, but have them blanked out/obscured unless you "click here to show."

Unify the commenting system with other readers (such as Inoreader)
For a true global and distributed RSS community, today's main reader platforms could join to create a standard protocol for comment sharing.
This would enable them to "integrate" the comments for news items; for example: user A uses The Old Reader, and posts a comment on a news item (some slashdot article); user B, who uses Inoreader, when seeing this same news item in his viewer, is able to see the comments from user A, and to reply to them; the reply would also be visible in user A's feed.

I would like to be able to read Instapaper articles from within Old Reader (so I can use Spritz to read them).
I understand that you can send articles to Instapaper (if you are a Premium member) but I would also like to be able to read Instapaper articles from within Old Reader.
This is mainly so I can use Spritz to read them.

Provide ongoing search within subscription feeds
I have 10-15 items in Craigslist that I continually am on alert for potential purchase/trade. Microsoft Outlook offers a static search feature w/ RSS feeds, where reader does the searching automatically daily/hourly once the search criterion defined. This would be a huge selling point for monthly subscription plans, IE: 1-20 @ $3/mo plan, etc. Thanks for the consideration!

Better interface and theme
Hi guys,
Are you planning a new theme and interface because I really think the actual one need some refreshment ! It has not been updated since a long time and I feel less and less confortable with it.
You should think about updating it, feel free to inspire yourself from inoreader and feedly. I don't want the same theme as your concurrent but a theme/interface more pleasant to use :-) Hope you understand.1 vote -
Send Email Open in New Tab
The email link is wonderful with one issue. I host my own server with a Roundcube webmail interface. RoundCube allows you to integrated with the browser as an email client. When using the email button, it launches as a compose message in RoundCube. Unfortunately, it replaces the current tab in Firefox. Would it be possible to add a flag to Email configuration that would force it to not replace the current tab. I.e. Launch email in new tab. The compose message is wrapped in HTML. Email as plain text would be nice.
