← Customer Feedback for The Old Reader

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. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. Can we add news from google alert?

    Can we add sources which don't have RSS feeds, like google alerts for companies?

  5. 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.

  6. 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 :-)

  7. 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.

  8. Send to mail to include whole article, not just link

    Thank you for implementing Send To button, but I would like to have whole article included in the body of mail, not just link.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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…

  14. Add Option to not render attachments for certain feeds

    I have some soup.io feeds. Now the guys there mostly do image feeds by displaying the image once in the feed AND as an attachment. Now they show up twice in theoldreader. I can use "n" to scroll to the next one, but it still would be nice to be able to do that!

  16. mark all as read

    Hi from Portugal. I started using old reader for a few days now and i have a suggestion.
    For me, the "mark all as read" button is too close to the "cancel subscription". Suggest you place it near the other buttons on the right.
    Also, sometimes there's a lag from mark all as read to the updated number on the left side. Keep up the good work and thank you...

  17. Removing oldest read posts instead of oldest total

    There is a limit of around 300 posts per feed. When a feed has more than that the oldest posts are being deleted. Could you please change it so that the oldest read posts are being deleted instead? I have feeds where some articles are longer and some of them are shorter. Usually I don't have much time and I leave longer articles for later and check shorter ones. In this case I'm way under 300 posts cap in my unread posts but the oldest unread are being deleted, because there are also read posts between which I don't care…

  19. Stop stealing the K key

    I would be happy to opt-out of all keyboard shortcuts, but this one is particularly irritating, as it prevents you from closing the browser window in the most straightforward way.
