That’s the best suggestion, thank you.
We’d love to, but venture capitals don’t grow on the trees these days. -
Auto Scrolling
Have the option to have the feeds scroll down automatically, perhaps at variable speeds and then be able to stop the scrolling when an article you want to read comes up.

Small changes in design and layout
Small changes in design and layout
I realy like Old Reader, closest to GR for me, so I have something to suggest for even better user experience (at least in my opinion)
original
http://i.imgur.com/gLqjdU0.pngexplanation:
1) I think this section is useless, selected feed easily can be seen in subscriptions tree. Plus this dark bubbles kinda distract a little bit.
2) If we remove (1) we can lift up (2) buttons and it's give us extra vertical space (which is important in 1080p age :)
3) This icon looks like list items is blended together, don't know if it's bug…1 vote -
undo unsubscribe
Currently when I unsubscribe from a feed, the action is final, with no way to resubscribe. I can't even go to the same feed because the link to it is promply forgotten. The website takes me to a default home page; instead it should stay on the same feed until I decide to move away or perhaps resubscribe.

increase the size of the reading pane
I am really thrilled with the idea of something to take over for Google Reader and am glad you guys took on the project.
On a 13" widescreen laptop with Chrome filling the entirety of vertical space and the majority of horizontal space, the reading pane is fairly small. Between the large Masthead/search bar and then the feed-specific information bar, it takes a lot of scrolling to read through an article. I'd love for the ability to customize space or at least offer a full browser window reading pane option with shortcut, like GReader.Thank you!

Log in with Google account and you can't read the GReader stream? This makes me nut.
I think I did say everything on the title. Once you have people logging in with a third party OTP, it mean you are effectively able to gather relevant info on the entire account.
What's the point to not read the GReader stream and import automatically saving the hassle for people to export and import their OPML again?1 vote -
add an option to display similar feeds
In Google reader, next to the feed title, there the option arrow related to this feed. Among those options, one I find really usefull displays the similar feeds (similar or related content) and subscribe to this feed.
Such an option would be nice in The Old Reader

Sort (and sync) by date
I've just imported from Reader, but I'm having to comb through 2000+ updates from 4 years ago. Limiting the period in which to sync would be helpful.

Mark as all as read by date option
In Google reader, until it's unfortunate demise, you can "mark all as read" but choose "items older than x." When sometimes you come online after days away from your feeds (vacation, a great weekend, long work binges, etc.) that is an incredibly useful feature.

Refresh button for all items.
There is a refresh button when scrolling through just a single feed. Why not one when scrolling through "all items?"

Ability to turn off any social features!
I just want to read my news in a quick way with a simple interface, no social anything which disturbs the clean interface. no recommendations, trends, ...
So if i could turn all these features off under settings, that would be great.
Ability to email an article to someone else is enough.

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)

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.
