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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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…

  9. 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)

  10. 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.

  12. Don't show "Welcome back" message when an account has timed out.

    Whenever I go to theoldreader.com after not having been there for a while, I am greeted by a chirpy "Welcome back, <account name>"

    Except it's a log in screen. I'm not logged in, and yet my account name is displayed.

    Which means, tautologically, that my account information is being shown to people who have not identified themselves as me.

    It's a bad look, and also a breach of data privacy laws. ... It may be a minor issue if one argues that the exposure is small, but you're still definitely leaking private information to someone who has definitely not been…

  16. Space bar should work like in Google Reder

    Space is the ultimate navigation tool in Google Reader. It works like the N key but when the post is not fully visible, it scrolls down instead of jumping to the next post. And then at the end of the feed it jumps directly to ne next feed.

    This there things allow me to navigate and read my news very fast and with only one key.

  18. Increase the limits of the low-end premium plan.

    I can't remember how much I'm paying right now without going back and looking, but I think it's $4 per month. That's fine, but perhaps you could raise the price by $1 and increase the limit to 2000 feeds?

  19. 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.
