Sort posts by the time of update
Sort posts by the time of appearance in the reader. Currently - if I understand it correctly - the posts are sorted by the time of publication. Due to the delays in the feed updates, it often happens that updated posts don't appear on top of the list and I miss them.

RSS Widget to include RSS Streams in a Web Page
I wish a widget to include several RSS Streams into my website pages. The widget should be customizable (width, color, date of the feed, URL-source or original source name)

I have some visual issues, and I find the green, and yellow, difficult to read. Black fine. Is it possible to have the facility to change the colours?

On mobile web interface, scroll to top of opened item
When I click to open a new item on the mobile safari version of the old reader, it closes the previously open item, collapsing it, and opens the new item, expanding it. Where the item's first line of text shows up, however, is completely random. When you open an article, the page should go directly to the top of that new article. The current behavior is maddening.

Remembering folder setting
It would be good if OldReader remembers folder setting such as which one was opened, which one was closed in previous login. Right now, it opens all folders up on login.

Interface / UI speed
Seems to me that the interface could be fake-speeded up quite easily. Examples:
1) If I mark all articles in a feed as read, the interface seems to be waiting for a response from TOR's server. But that's not necessary from a user's (and usability) point of view. Just hide that feed and that feed's articles on the user's computer locally. THEN send a message to TOR's server.
2) Moving feeds seems to similarly be waiting for TOR server responses. Suggestion: Save all changes on the user's machine locally first, then collect all the changes and send them to TOR's…

A quick way to switch between show all feeds and show only those with unread items
Google reader used to have this. It is much more convenient then going to a different page, changing an account setting, going back again to do whatever you wanted to do with your feeds, then loading up the settings page again and changing the account setting back. Please consider fixing this. Thanks very much for the hard work.

Bug with next one down arrow
Doesnt happen all the time but every so often it does. I click on a long article, one that takes scrolling down to fully read. Then click on next, it takes me to 2 articles above the original, and then as i click on next one down a couple more times it takes me to the long article i was originally reading in a never ending 3 article loop. Not serious but a little bit confusing at times.

Bulk Edit: Mark as Unread/Read/Highlight Multiple Items
I would really love to be able to Ctrl or Shift Click to select multiple items in my feed (or even just use an old fashioned check box) so I could select either Mark as Read or Mark as Unread. I understand that you have chosen to limit the number of unread articles per account (though don't really understand why) but to stay on top of feeds, bulk editing is therefore very necessary. Others have suggested bulk actions, but marking unread is as important if you're going to artificially enforce "mark as read" on articles I haven't, actually, read!

Allow to select all items in a feed as unread (batch unread)
There should be some way to batch select all items in a feed as unread, perhaps in the /subscriptions page where there are already actions for each feed (i.e. rename/unsubscribe) in a drop-down next to each feed. That seems like a sensible place for it.
Numerous times I have accidentally marked large feeds as unread, with no sensible way to mark them as unread again.

The Old Reader's public feed items should have the <source> attribute
The public feeds (.rss) should have the <source> attribute (well, for better attributing, e.g. when using these links to post on Twitter, Facebook, whatever.
Like this:
<source tor:stream-id="feed/http://lifehacker.com/index.xml">
<id>
tag:theoldreader.com,2013:reader/feed/http://lifehacker.com/index.xml
</id>
<title type="html">Lifehacker</title>
<link rel="alternate" href="http://lifehacker.com" type="text/html"/>
</source>Thanks for your consideration :)

Improved documentation to help guide the tons of new users that must have flocked here after the demise of Google Reader was announced.
The Knowledge Base is pretty short on answers, even for a product that is fairly intuitive. Please, someone should be posting Q&As on the Web site every day in this period of high attention, and the signed-in view should have a "Help" button somewhere.

Support Media RSS feeds with multiple file enclosures such as Blip.TV and other video podcasts.
Several sites have Media RSS feeds with multiple file enclosures -- for instance the same video in several different formats. Right now, only a single file is shown. Adding support for Media RSS feeds would make TheOldReader a lot more useful for folks who subscribe to video podcasts and other media-rich feeds.

"No post below this line..." not appearing in feed panel on mobile device at end of list
On my Nexus 7, using Android Firefox, the message:
"No posts below this line. Probably you have read them all."
does not appear when I have scrolled to the end of the feed list.
This makes it difficult for me to judge whether I have really read all the posts in the feed or I should wait for TheOldReader to fetch more feed items.
