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 feed and folder without unread items

    It would be nice to hide feed and folder without unread items, this will be easier to navigate between all my feeds.

    Thanks :)

  2. sync read/unread with 3rd party apps (ie Reeder)

    I like to look at my RSS feeds on different platforms and in different places (PC at work, Mac at home, iOS while on the train). This means I log in using different web-browsers and apps depending on my location. I would like to be able to seamlessly continue with the apps I currently own and sync between them so I only ever see "new" items.

  3. Add the ability to rename subscriptions

    Once a feed is added, I would like to be able to edit the name of the feed that is displayed in the subscription bar on the left.

  4. "r" keybind to reload when viewing feeds, "u" to hide the stuff under add subscription

    Having to click "All items" to see new items isn't cool.
    The navigation takes up too much space, would be nice to hide it until it's actually needed.

  5. Add "Note in OR" or "Note in Old Reader"

    Add "Note in OR" or "Note in Old Reader" that will allow us to input a link or text to our RSS feed and share it with our followers.

  7. Непрочтенное/прочтенное

    Сделайте пожалуйста разницу визуально более значимо. Просто бордера слева не очень хватает для комфортного различия.

  8. Display content excerpt next to title in list view

    This is an incredibly useful feature as it allows the user to a key part of each entry without expanding it in list view.

    Also there should be a difference between j/k and n/p in list view. Now all four operations automatically expands the entry, which is a bad idea.

  10. Add AdSense ads so that free users can contribute by clicking on them

    Instead of not allowing users for free when you can no longer handle the traffic. A lot of users live in countries where access to online payment systems are limited. That will give them an opportunity to indirectly contribute to the service.

  11. Google logout at same time as TheOldReader

    This is similar to the autologoff on browse shutdown idea but slightly different.

    I don't know if this is possible, but now when I log into the Old Reader with Google, I stay logged into Google after I manually logout of the Old Reader. I would like one of the settings to be the option to also logout of Google when I logout of the Old Reader.

    Thanks!

  15. fix the mark all as read button

    It shouldn't have a checkbox. That indicates a choice, whereas if I actually click on the button thinking I want to turn off whatever this option is, I lose all my unread posts (yes, I can go back and show all etc., but that's not the point).
    Also, it would be nice if the button was located somewhere else. people with Google reader habits might click it by accident to refresh the feed. This is, of course, a minor quibble.

    Great service overall, thanks!

    From comments:
    “I would also like to point out that options like “mark all as read” should require secret code that is stored in a vault and at least two people to press buttons simultaneously ;) This or something like popup confirmation box. I am truly paranoid that someday I will wipe out a feed where I neglected to read few articles."

  16. Can I just pay you guys $24/y so you don't die in the next 10 years?

    TL;DR

    SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

  18. email liked items

    When read an item I like I used to send it automatically by email to a friend or even to my own mailbox.
    Is there something similar with your reader.

  19. Fix a small typo in Spanish translation

    In the main screen, the button to show all elements says "Mostar todos los elementos" instead of "Mostrar todos los elementos". There's an "r" missing in "Mostrar".
