very small mobile web enhancements
I love the fact that The Old Reader has a mobile web interface. For me this is THE reason to switch to The Old Reader. With a few minor tweaks it could be great !
1) add the button to mark all as read at the bottom under the feeds. Afterall you browse all the way down while reading them and now you have to scroll back up to press "mark as read".
2) Would be great if on mobile you could also still work with the categories and they would be collapsed by default. This way you don't have to scroll down so much to get to your feeds.
Hope you can make this happen, especially the first one should be an easy fix :)

The mobile/tablet views of The Old Reader are pretty darn good but in many areas there needs to be a larget hit/link area for buttons and links. (Best practice is 40x40px for buttons and links).
Would also love to see a little padding at the bottom of the page (under the RSS feed items). Every time I try and select the last item I wind up tapping a button in iOS Safari's chrome.

This is a very quick thing to do and would help a lot mobile users without creating any dedicated app!

I think 2 is now addressed. When you open a folder, you now end up at the top of that folder, rather than the top of the page.

Agreed. Would also be great to have a distinct mobile app, so you don't have to open a browser to get to it.
