Show which feeds have the least number of articles I read in them
I consume my feeds at a folder level rather than the individual feed level, some feeds contain a large number of posts.
It would be great if in the same way you display dead feeds you could display feeds where I rarely view the content (other than scanning through the headings).For example on feed Y tell me that I only expanded or visited 2% of the posts.
This feature would be useful where you have multiple related feeds to ensure a wide converge and want to flag up and remove those sources which are not as good.

Share news items with only specific people (or only 1)
The one feature I miss from Reader than Old Reader doesn't have was the ability to share news items with a select audience via the use of shared folders converted to RSS feeds.
This was a bit of a hack, but it worked for my purpose: Sharing items only with my wife. Sure, someone could have found the feed and subscribed, but why would they care? It didn't consist of private news items, but it did consist of things my wife and I would talk about, and I didn't really want to share what I was reading/thinking about with everyone.…

have full screen option
I have a netbook. That means small screen. Google reader had the 'w' option to full screen within the window to remove everything except the reading pane. I would love to have that

Automatically pull URL from clipboard when adding a feed
I would find it convenient if, after clicking to add a feed, the contents of my clipboard (most likely a URL) would automatically get pasted into the field.

Support Authenticated Feeds
Some feeds require that you log in to access the feed. I know google reader did not support this feature but it would be nice.
Some current work around's include freemyfeed, but I'm having issues getting that working.

Auto log off
Add a configuration option to auto log off users that close the browser tab. This is needed to prevent google account hacking by opening The old reader before the password protected goggle accounts that do not log in ayuthomatically.. .

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
