  1. Make the Titles a different color than the article text

    Just so it's easier to see where a post ends when you're scrolling past it. I believe the ones in Google Reader were blue. You could do green!

  2. Don't scroll whole list on folder selection

    Select a folder in the middle and then use Shift+J/K to select another. All list scrolled. And hard to find out the target after list scrolled.

    Scrolling whole list is dizzy. Just move the color bar beside the folder name and scroll list only when article is outside the window.

  3. "Following" should show as a folder in the API

    I am using gReader, and unless it's a failure of their implementation (which is possible), there isn't a way to view anything from people I'm following. I should be able to access each of the people I'm following as separate feeds under a "Following" folder (or "tag" as gReader calls them).

  4. New themes!

    I suggest you to put on some new good-looking themes, to make the site more pleasant and readable, like feedly! That's what Google Reader lacked of too...
    And also, please shrink the subscriptions bar on the left, it's way too big.
    Thanks!

  5. speed up the UI when rearranging feeds

    The UI hangs when I am rearranding a feed (e.g. dragging and dropping a feed into a folder or between folders). I have to keep the mouse pressed until it shows signs of moving.

  6. Fix the bug with the space bar

    After I select a feed, pressing the space bar opens the first unread, and then the next, and so on. This also leads to the open folder on the left panel to close.

  7. Add an option to fit images to width on a feed-by-feed basis.

    Add an option to fit images to width on a feed-by-feed basis.

    This would avoid the need to either squint at tiny images (e.g. comics) or use an excessive page zoom (which may interfere with other feeds).

  11. do not remember me (my email and password) automatically when I register, but rather offer it as an option (“Keep me signed in” checkbox).

    I’m a news junky and in order for me not to get constantly distracted by checking news, my wife lets me to check the reader at night, entering with her password, which I don’t know (we have only one computer). This is impossible with the current TOR because it remembers me/her instantly, and whenever I enter theoldreader.com, I am immediately led to my account with all the subscriptions.

  12. Improve Multilingual Search

    Currently searching functionality in Japanese does not work properly.

    For example, Search with the keyword '東京'(Tokyo), the search result shows the feeds which contain any of '東' or '京'.

    Please improve this functionality to get correct search result.

  13. Allow for interface customization

    Either provide some flexible options (colors, fonts, text size, etc.) or open source it for modification. I find the default interface a bit hard on the eyes and would like to tweak, at the very least, colors and text sizes.

  14. .. bigger preview pictures for youtube feeds (like it was in google reader).

    But please do not use the actual video as feed content like "feedly" did since that takes much too long to load if you only want to quickly look through your feeds.

  15. 'Mark All As Read' option in Search

    I use the search function as a way to filter undesirable posts, but unfortunately the 'mark all as read' option isn't available in the search mode. It forces me to manually click on each and every article I want to delete from my feed. It's impractical and tiresome.

    Please make 'mark all as read' possible within the search function.

    while you reading a post ( aka A) and then scroll up and click space, you get a post (the top one you can see, aka B) that you just read expanded, not the next one blow A (read or unread).

  17. to enhance the function of SPACE

    just like google reader, SPACE key can open posts, scroll, and then the next feed by order if there is nothing new in the late feed.

  18. Google Calendar feed coming through in German

    Looks like you are stripping the "?hl=en" from the end of my Google Calendar feed and instead adding "?max-results=25". For whatever reason, this is making the "Where/When/Description" labels to get posted to The Old Reader in German rather than English.

  19. List View Bulk Action: Mark Some as Read

    When in List View, I would love to have little check boxes so I can do a bulk action, marking several posts as "Read" at once WITHOUT losing all the other posts. Please?

    Bloglines has this feature, but it doesn't have Search (that I've been able to find). You have Search, but no bulk action (unless I want to mark everything as read, which I don't!) If only I could find a reader that had both...

  20. A quick way to switch between show all feeds and show only those with unread items

    Google reader used to have this. It is much more convenient then going to a different page, changing an account setting, going back again to do whatever you wanted to do with your feeds, then loading up the settings page again and changing the account setting back. Please consider fixing this. Thanks very much for the hard work.
