not mangle links in articles
I would prefer that you not modify links in articles. I want to be able to open a link in the background, but no matter how I click a link (left, middle, right) I am only able to open it in a foreground link.

Mark item as read when opening it via keyboard shortcut
If I open an item in a new tab/window, I don't want to also have to mark it as read. If I open it, it's obviously for reading. The keyboard shortcuts make it easy enough to mark something as unread if a user wants to open something without marking it as read, but the default should assume that "opening" == "reading".

Refresh button and 'r' key not working the same
The 'r' key does not refresh my feeds. If I press 'r', the screen fades for a moment, then returns, but does not update the feed. If I then immediately click the 'Refresh' button, I get several new items in the feed. This happens in many feeds, but one example is: http://rss.briefing.com/Investor/RSS/StoryStocks.xml. Please fix

Find As You Type (type ahead find) Firefox
If you have Find As You Type (1) turned on in Firefox some keyboard shortcuts are broken.
I think most, if not all the g + something don't work.
Some work and don't activate Find As You Type ex: j, k
Some work but active Find As You Type: 1, 2You can try the same thing in Google Reader and their keyboard shortcuts (both single and multi-key) work without activating Find As You Type. So I believe there's a way to make a web app work with it?

Publicly share/export folders
I am a web developer that has been using Google Reader as an RSS feed aggregator, that then provides specific aggregated feeds to display on websites. To give an example, I have aggregated about 30 different feeds providing news about the media in Greece. I then take the single, aggregated folder from Google Reader, and using a script on my website, all of the articles from that folder are displayed, in a customized format that matches the design and layout of the site.
I'm not a professional, so some of the technical terminology and understanding may elude me, but through…

support feeds with broken hostnames
Old Reader doesn't currently support feeds with technically broken hostnames like username-.tumblr.com/rss while Google Reader and several other readers do.
I'd really love to see Old Reader as a complete replacement for Google Reader and for that I think at a minimum you need to be able to support all the same feeds.

Do not reset cursor in "show unread only"
When current feed disappears from the menu, do not reset the cursor. Instead, jump to the next feed or avoid hiding the feed until you move off of it.

don't dock items at the top while scrolling
When I scroll items using the j/k or shift-j/shift-k keyboard shortcuts, I find that the next item is moved all of a sudden to the top to become the first one in the list. I find this bit distracting. In Google Reader, the item used to stay where it was and simple keep moving downwards.
It's hard to explain the actual behaviour, but the difference is immediately recognizable if one were to scroll using keyboard in both The Old Reader and Google Reader

keyboard shortcut for next new post
Since the feeds are updated with posts at differing times, there are new posts that get lost among already read/old/recent posts when the reader updates. Instead of assigning j,n/k,p for next and previous posts, it would be convenient to have the ability to jump to the next new or unread post with (n,p) and then keep (j,k) for next and previous post.

Allow users to add new feeds directly to a folder rather than making them add each feed and then move it to a folder.

Have an option for people who just want to actually read their articles.
That means no gradients, rounded corners or silly fonts.

Folders in folders, option "collapsed folders"
I have many folders with many feeds in it. If I was able to use subfolders I would be able to organize everything better.
I also think there should be an option to have all the folders collapsed from the beginning. No matter what screensize I'm using, 8" to 27", I want all the folders to be collapsed from the start.

Notification after hitting the "add to Pocket" hotkey
Would be nice to show a msg like "Article sent to Pocket" after hitting the "f" hotkey for "Add to pocket"... I found myself sometimes repeatedly hitting the "f" key just to make sure that the article is sent... Thank you! =)

Smart folders
I'd love for there to be a way to define smart folders, such as "Only today's posts", "Only this week's posts", calculated by the user's current location / timezone.
