Small UX issue while navigating with "n" key at end of a feed
When using scrollbar you will see the "No posts below this line. Probably you have read them all." when you reach the end of the feed.
But when using "n" key to navigate from article to article, you won't never know that you reached it. Nothing to inform/warn you.
It happens to me when I'm reading a feed where the last post does not fit in the screen (it may contain images or a lot of text, that prevent you to see the bottom of the article), you won't see the "end of feed" message.
Then you will try to…

Fix infinite scroll preloader behaviour
You are using infinite scroll, it's great.
Which means, you load X element, then when we are close to the end of the loaded elements, you are preloading the next X elements, and so on.
But if you are using "n" key to navigate into a feed, you may face the following issue.
Let say that you want to read a feed that contains a lot of articles thats contain a lot of text or images
You may consider that few of them are interesting, then by reading the title you will know that you don't need to read the…

Prevent the username field from auto-completing on Android during login
When I login with Chrome on Android 4.4.2, I use my email address as my username:
Username: foobar@example.com
But, when I type the period as part of dot com, Android thinks I am writing a sentence and proceeds to autocorrect the email address, typically replacing it with something like:
Username: foo bar @ example.
Yes, a backspace immediately after the period will undo the autocorrect, but I typically am looking at the keyboard and I don't notice the mistake until it is too late.
Perhaps this link can help? textNoSuggestions?

Add Subscription directly to a folder
It would be nice to be able to add a new subscription directly to folders you already have.
Either via some shortcut like '###<foldername>' at the end of the URL or surface it as a dropdown in the Add Subscription UI.

Have an option for' mark read to here'
many RSS readers allow you to hide what you've already scrolled thru so you can close it at any point & go back. Here we have to read all the way thru & then mark 'all as read'.

log in
Use regular log in fields, rather than whatever it is you do with the overlay. Neither Keypass nor Lastpass detects the fields, which is a huge annoyance.

Display current feed in page title
Currently the page title always stays the same when switching between feeds, i.e. the number of total unread stories followed by "The Old Reader". It would be great to add the current feed title, which would for example enable me to search for them in Firefox's location bar.

Make text links clickable.
Google Reader automatically converted any pure text url's in posts into clickable links.
Is it possible for The Old Reader to do the same?
Many posts, Twitter feeds for instance but also others, come with a plain text url. This means I spend a lot of time highlighting the url in Firefox and then right-clicking to select Open url in new Tab.
Random example: The Pacific barreleye fish has a transparent head… http://t.co/9ivzg8aSb6
I hope its possible to add this feature.

Impose Time Limit for Suggestions
If a suggestion does not achieve, say, 10 votes in a month, it falls.
If it doesn't achieve 50 votes in, say, 3 months it falls.The rationale for this is that there are so many suggestions that few people (if any) will give them the attention they may or may not deserve.

iOS app
Make a native iOS app, not just an API. I love the look and feel of the website and would love to have that in a native app.
Even just an app that's a client for the website would be better. I just want it separate from my browser.

Define folder names and feed names more clearly
Either the folder name needs to "leap out" more, or the feeds should be indented a little. I find it difficult to see at a glance where the headings/feeds start and end.
Love The Old Reader!

add a button "go to website" at the end of each feed, so it will b faster to click on it than go up to post title on long post.
especially on mobile device, it is cumbersome to go up to the post title on long post to be able to click on it and go to the original website (for example to access comments)

Add a "Go to article" button at bottom of article
Often after reading a long article in tOR, I want to go to the original blog to make a comment. However, I have to scroll back up to the beginning to get to the link. I'd like a button next to the star/mark as read/send to/etc. buttons that will take me to the original article.
