  1. Sort folders as GR did: By feed order by date, not all feeds collectively by date

    Group each feed in a folder together in the order in which it is arranged. When changing the sort order by date, retain the feed order in the folder. This is how GR did it.

    Currently, viewing the feed of a folder does not reflect the order of the folder; manually ordering the folder structure does not affect the feed order. This is not how GR did it.

  2. Leave folders expanded/collapsed as they are left

    Save the expanded/collapsed state of each folder regardless of browser or resolution.

    The suggestion "Collapse folders as the default view" may be officially "Completed" but it is still lacking. Mobile is not the only resolution would benefit from this.

    As a user commented in that suggestion, the folder state should remain just as the user left it.

    As another commented, it is annoying to collapse them all down first.

    Do you prefer to have your folders collapsed by default?

  3. Improve focus retention on single expanded article in List view to allow keyboard shortcuts to work function against focused article.

    Generally speaking the UI focus seems to be easily lost after expanding a single article in list view if any subsequent clicks or scrolling are done (while the expanded article continues to remain open). Subsequent attempted keyboard shortcut actions either cease functioning or are actioned against an apparently random (or top of list) article.

  4. allow me to "like" a post without opening it

    In list view, I like to scan headlines and then mark posts for future reading. As it is now, I have to open and scroll down to the bottom of each post to like it which takes a bit of time.

  6. make the scrollbars work better

    When I drag the scroll bar handle all the way down....it stops at the bottom but there is plenty more to read further down. If I then use my mouse wheel to go further - the scroll bar handle pops up to the center AND so does the content I already looked at....so dragging the scroll bar all the way down again does not let me see more content.

  7. Fix the behavior of the 'm' key

    The help screen describes the m key as "read/unread a post". I think the "m" key should be equivalent to clicking the "Mark as unread" button on the currently expanded post, but it is not. If I am viewing posts in list mode, and I open a post that is not the topmost one, and then I scroll all the way up using the mouse wheel, and then I press the m key, it will actually mark the topmost post as read even though I have not even opened it yet. Instead, I would expect that pressing the 'm' key…

  8. Bug with next one down arrow

    Doesnt happen all the time but every so often it does. I click on a long article, one that takes scrolling down to fully read. Then click on next, it takes me to 2 articles above the original, and then as i click on next one down a couple more times it takes me to the long article i was originally reading in a never ending 3 article loop. Not serious but a little bit confusing at times.

  9. More frequent feed updates

    Please prioritize more frequent updates over archiving ancient articles (which I still don't understand why people would really need). RSS is designed to inform people of news, not record history. Many of my time-sensitive feeds are showing up 12-24 hours after the original post was released (I know bc I see it on other readers 12-24 hours earlier). And not just a handful of feeds; it's a substantial percentage. I know the more updates costs more money, but I hope that resources are being prioritized for higher update frequency.

    Note: I am speaking about average performance over the last month.…

  10. Retain Article/Post Formatting

    Old Reader doesn't even maintain some obvious formatting, such as text wrapping around left aligned images. Google Reader did this very well, retaining the original formatting of articles/posts. The Old Reader makes the very barest of efforts.

  11. Show both actual timestamp and "x hours ago" for each article

    Right now, you have to hover over the "x hours ago" timestamp to see the actual time of the post. There is plenty of room to list both, so please do so. (GReader used to show both).

  12. deduplicate posts across feeds

    Sometimes you get the same post from different feeds - mainly because of planet * feed aggregators. It would be nice if such posts were only displayed once.

    The comparison should probably be based only on the message content itself, as posts titles and other metadata may vary.

  17. Allow sorting of posts by title (invaluable for web forum topic feeds)

    I follow a lot of web forum topics via RSS, as it's so much easier than visiting each website every day to see what replies have been posted to each topic.

    It's much easier to read these feeds if I can sort the posts in the same way that emails would show up in my inbox -- namely, the original topic post first, followed by replies. NetNewsWire v3 is the only app I have that currently allows me to do this (screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1802478/nnw-forum-feeds.png), but I'd love to move away from it to a service like yours that would that…

  18. Collapse article you're not interested ASAP wherever you want, even in the middle of an article

    When you're in the middle of article, and you show no interests on it. You want to collapse the article, back to the list view to overall rest of article, but when you try to click top-middle position to collapse it, you realize you've to scroll page up, so you can collapse it with its title. Or you've to scroll page down, expand next title and collapse it again to have an overall view. And these useless scroll up/down, expand/collapse is really crazy.

  19. Fix the bug that jumps to the top sometimes when hitting Shift+Space.

    Scenario: Reading through feeds, hitting j and k to go through them, sometimes I start reading one instead of hitting f or v, to do so, I usually press space to drop down. This works fine. When I want to go back up one section I press Shift+Space. This sometimes works, and other times it will bring me up, not to the top of the article, but to the top of the whole feed list.

    This happens in Chrome on Mac while reading All Items. Its just an annoyance, but would love to see it fixed.

  20. Mark Articles older than X as read

    Basically this is identical to what Google Reader had. It had options like 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, etc, it will take all those articles older than the specified period and mark them as unread, but also marks the articles newer than that period as unread.

    Great for reversing accidental "Mark all as read".
