Sort by getting date and tome
Sometimes new posts are below the posts I have marked as unread (I have the reader set up to show unread posts only, newest on top).
It seems, that the items are sorted by the date and time the item was created and when the feed is read and contains posts older than the items I have already seen, then these older posts go below the posts I have seen.
Then, to read newly found posts I have to scroll down and again mark the posts I have seen before as unread.
Would it be possible to add an option…
1 voteThis is now the default sort order.

allow paste in password field
When I try to log in, it won't let me paste the password into the password field. That's stupid. It's not improving security, just making your tool harder to use.
3 votesWe do not prevent pasting the password into the password field, and we have just verified that it works fine on latest Chrome and Firefox.

Don't mark everything above the clicked-on post as read.
I read a lot of webcomics/time ordered content in and it is incredibly annoying that clicking on a post automatically marks everything above it (i.e. everything I'm about to read) as read. It means that I have no idea where I'm up to through a browser restart.
Please Please, never mark something as read if i've never actually opened and/or read it.
(Tested in Chrome/FF)

allow me to unsubscribe from feeds
People didn't like the placement of the old "unsubscribe" button. Now, the button seems to be gone entirely. I don't even see an option to re-enable it. Was this intentional?
3 votes“Unsubscribe” button is now on the right-hand side from the feed title: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13904161/Screen%20Shot%202013-05-30%20at%208.09.41%20PM.png

Unread feeds button?
Dear Old Reader,
My feeds are not appearing chronologically and I need to individually click items to read them.
It would be amazing to have a way to click a button to just read the unread ones. (Clicking "Home" or "All Items" has not worked for me).
Apart from this, I would like to commend you on a very nice program!

Do you read all these suggestions?
It just really felt like the idea I just posted was going into a void and would never be read.
Perhaps a problem with using uservoice for customer interaction instead of email support.
1 voteYes, we read all feature requests. Features that are top-voted here get marked as “Planned” and added to our development roadmap.
When ideas are discarded, they are clearly marked as such.

API for subscribing to feed
I know there's a suggestion for an API, but that's just a huge vague task.
I'm just suggesting something for adding feed urls via a get request....
http://theoldreader.com/add_feed?s=http://blog.skepticallibertarian.com/feed/
or some such ( yes, that just happened to be the feed I was adding now ).
I was trying to add a new feed via Google's reader extension, and since it was possible to manually decide services to parse the RSS feed, I wanted to specify your service.

Include audio enclosures when sharing podcast feed items
When sharing podcast feed items, enclosures are not showing up in the share feed. I used this feature a lot in Google Reader to create my own "mix tape" of podcast items.

Make a users Shared Items an RSS feed that can be accessed by other services.
This would make it so that my shared items can be accessed by someone using a different feed reader (feedly, or HiveReader, etc...)

support RTL (Hebrew/Arabic)
Reading Hebrew feeds is painful: The text is left-aligned, and bidi is all wrong, which means if there are any numbers/Latin in a line, the text flow is completely broken.

Make shift+j and shift+k also do what shift+n and shift+p do
This is how Google reader behaves and it is slightly easier as I often use j and k for navigation and won't have to move the placement of my fingers.

Use ? to dismiss the shortcut menu
? does a find job of bringing up the list of shortcut keys.
It would be nice if it would also DISMISS the list. Right now only ESC works.
That way you can keep you hands on homerow, hit ? to quickly remind yourself what key to use, then ? again to dismiss it.
