  2. RSS Widget to include RSS Streams in a Web Page

    I wish a widget to include several RSS Streams into my website pages. The widget should be customizable (width, color, date of the feed, URL-source or original source name)

  3. Create a way to manage folders.

    When I am on a feed, and I want to remove it from a folder, there isn't a way to do this. Or, if I want to create 5 new folders, there isn't a way to just create them. The dragging and dropping method isn't working for me, the way the how to says it should. Have a manage folders page, where we can manage all the items and folders, like the favorites page of our browsers.

  4. It would be nice if we could select more than one feed to move to a folder at a time.

    If we could highlight a "bunch" of our rss feed titles, to be moved to a folder, and perhaps right click-copy-paste to the new folder.

  5. tidy display of posts with pictures

    Posts with pictures at the top align the first line of the text to the right of the image and then there's a big gap before the text continues below the image. It would be awesome if you could prevent this from happening somehow.

  7. Resize text

    It would be nice to be able to make the text of blog posts bigger, especially as the sidebar cannot be tucked away to allow for more screenroom.

  8. Embed Popouts

    The original reader has a feature where known embeds have a link which pops the embed out into a new small browser window. This allows you to listen to video/audio while continuing to browse your feeds.

    I imported all my google data but the starred items did not import. Can you add a functionality that does this?

  10. Reconsider your decision not to support IE8

    I appreciate your reasoning not to support IE8, but the sad truth is that MOST companies restrict their browers to IE8 because they are woefully behind the times! Wish you guys would reconsider or I'll have to use something else at work.

  12. Move the 'unsubscribe' button

    The 'unsubscribe' button and 'mark all as read' button are too close to each other, and the wrong button could be pressed by mistake. Suggestion is to move the unsubscribe button to the other side of the screen, or simply elsewhere.

    NB : There was already a suggestion for this which has been marked as 'completed'. However they're still right next to each other, so submitting this again.

  13. Ye Olde Reader sister site

    Make a sister site, yeoldereader.com, which is exactly this site except that "The Old Reader" is replaced by "Ye Olde Reader" everywhere.

  14. Sort posts by the time of update

    Sort posts by the time of appearance in the reader. Currently - if I understand it correctly - the posts are sorted by the time of publication. Due to the delays in the feed updates, it often happens that updated posts don't appear on top of the list and I miss them.

  15. Private Blogs

    Is there a way to store private blog addresses? I would like to have a central location for storing blog even if I have to click out.

    There is an RSS feed for shared items. Can there be a feed for liked items too?

  17. Allow iframes in feed items

    Slashdot feed has iframes for top 5 comments, which allows to read/moderate them without opening the main site.

    Google reader displays this iframe; Old Reader does not.

  18. sharing/loving at the top of articles

    The "share" and "love" buttons are at the end of each articles.
    Sometimes I don't have the time to read a long article with a promising title.

    Actualy I have to scroll down to the end of the article to be able to "love" it and get a link to the article so I can read it later.

    I would suggest either adding a "read later" or "put inside to read later" button OR put the love button at the top of every article, following the title.

  19. Change folder from the feed

    Change what folder a feed is part of from the feed, no dragging/dropping required.
    Since I have updated my settings to hide feeds/folders with no unread items I can't move a new feed to that folder until a new post shows up there or I change my settings. A dropdown with the available folders available from the feed would solve the problem.

  20. "Scrolling through post marks it as read" setting per view type

    It looks like some users do not like "scrolling through post marks it as read" as a global setting and would prefer being able to configure this behavior separately per view type.
