  1. Sort feeds in a folder by number of unread posts

    I like to go through my folders by reading feeds with the most unread posts first. At the moment I just scroll through the folder's listing but this is a little inconvenient when the folder has a lot of feeds. This suggestion is similar to others which suggest some sort of folder sorting. It'd be nice if this were an option.

  2. Allow mark feed as read without having to load the feed

    It would be great if I could mark a feed or a folder as read without having to click on the feed and load all the posts. ie: if I could right click on the feed/folder and choose an option to mark as read, that would really help with efficiency of using Old Reader for me.

  3. <<<< Provision to see "like topics" of a followers >>>>>

    I enjoy the old reader where the world is viewed in one touch of a button. I suggest in addition to "share" topics, a followers may be allowed to view "like" topics of a member.

  4. All posts marked read problem with feeds with long articles

    I have a problem that sometimes all posts are marked read when I open one/some of the top posts. I suspect this happens with feeds with long articles.

    Conditions: I use usually next item down arrow. Mark read when scroll is on (but like I said: I have openen only the top posts). Firefox.

    For example this has happened many times with feed:
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/yankodesign

  6. Allowing to have "all items" as a start page

    Hello,

    Could it be possible to have an option in the preferences that would allow to have directly the "all items" page when going on http://theoldreader.com.

    Moreover, this would also allow to jump directly on "all items" when clicking on the theolreader extension button on Safari.

    Many thank.

    Best regards,

    Olivier.

  7. Mark an article as read if I middle-click its main link.

    Currently, left-clicking the main link at the top of an article entry will mark that article as read. This opens the article in a new tab, but also focuses the new tab, forcing me to switch tabs back to The Old Reader if I want to open more than one thing before I actually read them (which I pretty much always do). A middle-click in all major browsers opens the link in a new tab, but keeps the current tab selected. If this also marked the article as read, it would be the most efficient option by a wide margin!

  8. Have "O" set to  "expand and collapse post" and have only "V" set to "Open post in a new tab".

    I wanted to make a suggestion. Instead of having both "O and V" set to "Open post in a new tab", why not change it so that "O" is set to "expand and collapse post" (like it did in Google Reader as well as AOL and Diggs reader). And just have only "V" set to "Open post in a new tab". for some reason I thought it was this way when I first started using "TheOldReader" or it could just be my imagination due to being used to that configuration. I feel this would be more keyboard friendly for people…

  13. Have an option to remove images from news feeds

    I like the old reader because it's pretty clean. However, it's displaying images in some feeds eventhough it only uses up bandwith, makes the layout look ugly and it doesn't help me scrolling through a large number of news items.

  15. How can I search/log key words like I did with Google reader/alerts?

    I cant seem to set up keyword searches on your application- just feeds to web sites? Am I missing something?

  17. 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.

  18. 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?

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
