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. Evaluate your capta feature

    Provide something that works. I've tried 4 times to sign up for your service and I've clicked on motor cycles (twice), bridges, mountains and it still tells me that it's an invalid response.

  3. Allow an option to see embedded YouTube links logged in again

    Previously, embedded YouTube videos did not use the nocookie url. Now that they do, it is impossible to add videos in the feed to your own watch later list easily.

  4. Allow us to add Mastodon feeds

    You can get an RSS feed out of mastodon if you set the Accept header in the HTTP request to application/rss+xml when requesting their timeline- at the minute if we try to add the feed then this Accept header isn't set and you get the HTML page back.

    One possible option would be to use an accept header of application/rss+xml,text/html.

  5. Enable an alt-text addition when starring or sharing

    Please allow users to add alt-text to feed objects we star or share. The RSS feeds don't seem to pass through alt-text correctly, even when alt-text exists. It can be an easy copy-paste to make this service more accessible.

  6. Persist user sessions across server restarts

    It seems that whenever the server is restarted/updated, I get logged out. Can the user sessions be persisted to disk in those situations so that I don’t have to log in again?

  7. Toggle button for subscription list sidebar on left left or right

    Add a toggle button to move the subscription list between the left and right sides. This reduces the likelihood and severity of a sore right hand caused by always using the same hand to scroll (on touch-screen tablet)

  11. document your subscription plans

    I read the home page, the "learn more" / "Product tour" and I can find no mention of plans available or the cost. The only hint I got was the option to try "premium" free for a month on the signup page with an explanation that there are larger plans.

    I'd like use something I can support financially, but I'd like to know the cost up front.

  14. importing posts from tumblr and other "closed" social networks ?

    hello, i've just logged in after years, and was struck by the diversity and range of stuff on old internet blogs.

    Sadly a lot of these have died or moved on to social media platforms.
    Perhaps if there was a way to get posts from closed networks onto reader we could get a taste of the old internet without getting sucked into closed platforms and eternal scrolling.
    It's quite striking how much we have lost in the last couple of years.

    Maybe there's a different approach ? The current product is perfect but perhaps if there was a way to…

  15. Bug with youtube favicon

    When I imported some youtube feeds from an opml file they have the url like so:
    https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=XXXXX

    However, I currently have the seem feed in my rss that's:
    http://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=XXXXX

    The problem is only the http one has a YT favicon. The https one ends up with a generic rss thumbnail. Since the http one redirects to https they should both have the same thumbnail.

  16. Changing font size within the article area

    Would be a very helpful feature for accessibility without having to change the whole page structure by page zoom which affects the subscription column, buttons and overall readability.
    Thank you.

  20. Get emails delivered to Newsletter subscriptions

    Many the blogs I read don't support RSS, but do send their posts in a monthly newsletter.
    The ability to subscribe to an news letter with an oldreader would be useful.
    See https://www.inoreader.com/ as a reference.
