justify list view and add snippets
there's two huge changes your list view could use that would make it way more readable:
1) justify all of the article titles at the same indentation as each other. essentially, there should be a column for the feed title and a column for the article title - this is how google reader does list view. right now, having a tag prepended to the title in list view is hard to visually scan and is jarring.
2) include the initial bit of content from the article alongside the title. again, this is something google reader's list view does and it greatly helps skimming.

The new list view is nice, but on my Nexus 7, in portrait mode, the article titles are now cut off so much that only three to four words are visible.
This, I think, is not enough to judge whether it is worthwhile to open the article to read.
I have posted an example in my twitter feed [ https://mobile.twitter.com/sohkamyung/status/329575430011097088 ]. As can be seen, there is a lot of white space after the title, which could be used to display more of the title.
I hope the list view can be tweaked to display more of the title.

Looks like the snippets part just got fixed, at least (I don't really care that much about #1)!

I would really like a the initial part of the article next to the title, I really like that.
