  1. make logging in easier and possible with the keyboard only (without mouse click).

    It would be great if I could store a link to theoldreader.com that already includes the email address I wanted to use for logging in. For example Google reader supported links like reader.google.com/?email=my@address.com, in which case the email address was automatically filled in and the password field focused.
    Also a similar effect could be achieved if at least there was a keyboard shortcut or direct link to the login page (eliminating the need to grab the mouse and click after entering the url).

  3. Put a "mark all as read" button at the bottom of the list of posts.

    If there are a lot of long posts it takes a long time to scroll all the way back to the top on Android.

  5. Google Calendar feed coming through in German

    Looks like you are stripping the "?hl=en" from the end of my Google Calendar feed and instead adding "?max-results=25". For whatever reason, this is making the "Where/When/Description" labels to get posted to The Old Reader in German rather than English.

  6. to enhance the function of SPACE

    just like google reader, SPACE key can open posts, scroll, and then the next feed by order if there is nothing new in the late feed.
    cheers.

  7. while you reading a post (aka A) and then scroll up and click space, you get a post (the top one you can see) that you just read expanded

    while you reading a post ( aka A) and then scroll up and click space, you get a post (the top one you can see, aka B) that you just read expanded, not the next one blow A (read or unread).
    GR did it the way i just suggest

  8. .. bigger preview pictures for youtube feeds (like it was in google reader).

    But please do not use the actual video as feed content like "feedly" did since that takes much too long to load if you only want to quickly look through your feeds.

  9. Improve Multilingual Search

    Currently searching functionality in Japanese does not work properly.

    For example, Search with the keyword '東京'(Tokyo), the search result shows the feeds which contain any of '東' or '京'.

    Please improve this functionality to get correct search result.

  10. Fix the bug with the space bar

    After I select a feed, pressing the space bar opens the first unread, and then the next, and so on. This also leads to the open folder on the left panel to close.

  11. Don't scroll whole list on folder selection

    Select a folder in the middle and then use Shift+J/K to select another. All list scrolled. And hard to find out the target after list scrolled.

    Scrolling whole list is dizzy. Just move the color bar beside the folder name and scroll list only when article is outside the window.

  12. Make the "Mark as read" button look different if the post is marked read

    Currently, to tell whether a post is read or unread, one needs to read the text of the button to find the "un" inserted. This can also lead to not noticing when you've accidentally marked an item as read (by clicking the text).

    My suggestion is to make the button change color, or change the checkbox to an empty checkbox, or change the background of the feed item (preferable, unless the click text to mark read is made optional), so it's easier to tell whether the item is marked read.

  13. Fix the bug that jumps to the top sometimes when hitting Shift+Space.

    Scenario: Reading through feeds, hitting j and k to go through them, sometimes I start reading one instead of hitting f or v, to do so, I usually press space to drop down. This works fine. When I want to go back up one section I press Shift+Space. This sometimes works, and other times it will bring me up, not to the top of the article, but to the top of the whole feed list.

    This happens in Chrome on Mac while reading All Items. Its just an annoyance, but would love to see it fixed.

  15. make the scrollbars work better

    When I drag the scroll bar handle all the way down....it stops at the bottom but there is plenty more to read further down. If I then use my mouse wheel to go further - the scroll bar handle pops up to the center AND so does the content I already looked at....so dragging the scroll bar all the way down again does not let me see more content.

  17. allow me to "like" a post without opening it

    In list view, I like to scan headlines and then mark posts for future reading. As it is now, I have to open and scroll down to the bottom of each post to like it which takes a bit of time.

  18. Improve focus retention on single expanded article in List view to allow keyboard shortcuts to work function against focused article.

    Generally speaking the UI focus seems to be easily lost after expanding a single article in list view if any subsequent clicks or scrolling are done (while the expanded article continues to remain open). Subsequent attempted keyboard shortcut actions either cease functioning or are actioned against an apparently random (or top of list) article.

  19. Sort folders as GR did: By feed order by date, not all feeds collectively by date

    Group each feed in a folder together in the order in which it is arranged. When changing the sort order by date, retain the feed order in the folder. This is how GR did it.

    Currently, viewing the feed of a folder does not reflect the order of the folder; manually ordering the folder structure does not affect the feed order. This is not how GR did it.
