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.

Allow to select all items in a feed as unread (batch unread)
There should be some way to batch select all items in a feed as unread, perhaps in the /subscriptions page where there are already actions for each feed (i.e. rename/unsubscribe) in a drop-down next to each feed. That seems like a sensible place for it.
Numerous times I have accidentally marked large feeds as unread, with no sensible way to mark them as unread again.

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 ~

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.

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!

Add Tag to Pocket Integration
The Old Reader's Pocket integration is phenomenal. Simply hitting Star adds an article to Pocket queue. The only problem is that unless tags are added I have no way to telling if an article came from The Old Reader. It would be great if a tag is automatically added to the Pocket. Tag can be anything like theoldreader or user defined.

It would be great if there was a way to filter duplicate articles. I find myself seeing the same article several times

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…

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.

Repair content display when there are both LTR and RTL writing systems in the feed item
When a feed contains both LTR and RTL content, all the content is aligned to the right. It would be better to have each content aligned to its adequate margin.
I created this dummy feed where the problem can be seen, based on another feed where I found it: http://suspensao.blog.br/feed.xml

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."
