← Customer Feedback for The Old Reader

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. allow feeds to load beyond import time

    my feeds are only listing items as far back as around the day i imported from google reader. scrolling down farther than may 30 or 31 displays this message: "No posts below this line. Probably you have read them all." first of all, i have not read them all, and second, even if i have, i still want to be able to go back to them. right now i have a lot of feeds with unread posts from last week that i cannot see.

  2. When viewing a single feed, there's no indicator of how many posts are left. I can only see the number of posts in a folder or over all.

    When you have a lot of folders, with many feeds inside, sometimes you click on the feed name of a particular post, causing the UI to show you all posts that are from that feed. Unlike Google Reader, though, once you're looking at a single feed's stream of posts, you cannot see how many articles/posts are in the feed.

    For instance, I have a folder with tech blogs. Sometimes are viewing a few posts, I click on the Slashdot feed, singling it out. The Old Reader UX does the right thing and shows me all Slashdot posts. It even shows…

  3. Adding Persons By Twitter search/Google News/Google Blog

    In Google reader you can add a feed by "John Brown" + " Canada" in a google reader search option. How is this done on the Oldreader or is it to come as a feature

  5. Please unbold/grey/change color of headlines that have been opened and read.

    Please differentiate between headlines that have been clicked on, and read, as opposed to those that aren't clicked on.

    It seems the green tag (unread) disappears after the headline is loaded, but headlines should only be marked "read" after being clicked on.

  6. Add favicons to article list

    The favicon (optional) would be nice to the left of or instead of the feed title in the article list would be nice. A minor and cosmetic addition I know.

  8. Non-.db Image Cache for offline viewing

    I'd like to see an image cache that stores images associated with a post for offline viewing. I'd also like to see this be just a standard cache instead of an .db cache which you can't easily sift through like you can a regular cache folder in Finder.

  9. Improve keyboard next/previous subscription or folder

    When I press shift-j or shift-k after I empty a feed and it disappears from the list of feeds, instead of starting from the top of my feeds list, it should start from where it left off. I only show unread feeds, so maybe it works properly when that is off.

  10. allow pasting OPML data into text area

    File upload is broken in some mobile browsers, like Google Chrome. As a mitigation, we could allow users to paste the OPML data into a text area as an alternative.

  13. Fix the navigation buttons being all square boxes on machines locked down not to allow foregin fonts

    All I get is little squares, not keen to allow random fonts to be used which is why I have that turned off. Fonts are for text not controls.

  14. Export Liked

    I would like to be able to export my Liked articles, in a way that allows them to be imported into another service. I see this is done already for feeds (OPML) and Shared (RSS), so I think adding of export of Liked would be a big step toward being to export all of a users data.

  16. Let me move feeds into hidden folders

    When I have "Show only those folders/feeds that have unread items" checked, I can't move new feed subscriptions into hidden folders.

    When I try to drag a feed into a folder, all the hidden folders should be temporarily displayed.

  17. Scroll bar in list mode too narrow

    Please make the scroll bar to the right in list mode a bit wider. Now it is hard to get the mouse pointer easily to the right spot. I use a 1680x1050 screen resolution on a laptop.

    Thanks for a good reader!
