  1. Impose Time Limit for Suggestions

    If a suggestion does not achieve, say, 10 votes in a month, it falls.
    If it doesn't achieve 50 votes in, say, 3 months it falls.

    The rationale for this is that there are so many suggestions that few people (if any) will give them the attention they may or may not deserve.

  2. iOS app

    Make a native iOS app, not just an API. I love the look and feel of the website and would love to have that in a native app.

    Even just an app that's a client for the website would be better. I just want it separate from my browser.

  4. Define folder names and feed names more clearly

    Either the folder name needs to "leap out" more, or the feeds should be indented a little. I find it difficult to see at a glance where the headings/feeds start and end.

    Love The Old Reader!

  5. add a button "go to website" at the end of each feed, so it will b faster to click on it than go up to post title on long post.

    especially on mobile device, it is cumbersome to go up to the post title on long post to be able to click on it and go to the original website (for example to access comments)

  6. Add a "Go to article" button at bottom of article

    Often after reading a long article in tOR, I want to go to the original blog to make a comment. However, I have to scroll back up to the beginning to get to the link. I'd like a button next to the star/mark as read/send to/etc. buttons that will take me to the original article.

  8. Hide "such-n-such likes this"

    There is a line that says "Name1, Name2 likes this" with names in red, under posts. I would like to hide it.

  9. Please make current feed indicator go the full width of the nav panel.

    The current indicator (green bar) in the nav panel is pretty subtle and easy to miss. I'd like to see this highlight the entire row of the selected feed.

  10. When TheOldReader opens on home page (all items) and all folders are closed

    I have many folders with many RSS feeds in each of them. I would like that whenever I open TOR, it will be opened on"All items", AND, that all folders will be closed,
    Please vote for it :-)
    Thank you!

  12. allow an option to not show a feed in the 'dead links' section

    I am subscribed to feeds that are very infrequently updated. I'd like to be able to mark a feed so that it won't show up in my dead feeds list.

  13. List duplicate feeds for removal.

    After a recent import and feed-adding-spree, I've ended up with a lot of duplicate feeds. Most of them are due to the websites changing their feed URL, and some seem to have the same feed URL.

    It would be great if TOR could find feeds with the same posts and provide a list so the duplicates can be easily reviewed and removed.

    Possibly also show feeds which are a subset of other feeds, so you can remove the subset feed if it's covered by a full feed already.

    Let me know if you need more information :-)

  14. let us sort starred and liked by feed

    The starred and liked systems are great to have (especially now having two different ones), but as they grower they are harder to browse back. I would like to be able to sort them by feed of origin to easily find, say, recipes among the programming tips.

  17. Offline Access

    Allow the web site to work offline. I have done this on my site with HTML5 local storage and cache. Though The Old Reader is more complicated, I still think it can be done, and would be very useful.

  18. Rename feed from feed page

    I know you can double click on the feed name in the sidebar, but with lots of subscriptions I don't want to have to go hunting for it, I'd rather just rename it inline on the feed page.

  19. Show "just read" posts

    From the home page, add a way to see the most recently read items (say, 50 or 100 of them — or arbitrarily far back). Sometimes I'm reading quickly and I accidentally go onto another feed, skipping past something I actually want to read, and it's extremely difficult to find the skipped item again.

  20. I would like to see the search feature improved

    Whenever I use the search feature it never finds what I want, without using "AND" in between each word. And even when I do use it like that it doesn't find all of the posts regarding those keywords.

    For example I search for "This Week In SEO" without quotes it gives me this:

    http://screencast.com/t/AlGynZg1T2

    Not at all what I'm searching for.

    When I search for "This Week In SEO" with quotes it gives me the same results:
    http://screencast.com/t/AfAFA9Ta

    Even searching for "This" "Week" "In" "SEO" with quotes around every word gives me the same results:

    http://screencast.com/t/dqCWojLnRoeq

    Only when I search…
