← Customer Feedback for The Old Reader

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.

  2. Blogger

    The only thing I want with a new rss reader is to be able to post the posts I want to to blogger. If you plan to add this feature GREAT! If not, can you tell me any rss reader that does? I'd greatly appreciate it

  5. Implement OStatus

    If you could implement OStatus (or a similar open social messaging standard) to replace the internal sharinf functionality, people doesn't need to find all their friends in TheOldReader, they can just post to their existing network...

  6. Non-.db Image Cache for offline viewing

    I'd like to see an image cache that stores images associated with a post for offline viewing. I'd also like to see this be just a standard cache instead of an .db cache which you can't easily sift through like you can a regular cache folder in Finder.

  8. Adding Persons By Twitter search/Google News/Google Blog

    In Google reader you can add a feed by "John Brown" + " Canada" in a google reader search option. How is this done on the Oldreader or is it to come as a feature

  9. allow feeds to load beyond import time

    my feeds are only listing items as far back as around the day i imported from google reader. scrolling down farther than may 30 or 31 displays this message: "No posts below this line. Probably you have read them all." first of all, i have not read them all, and second, even if i have, i still want to be able to go back to them. right now i have a lot of feeds with unread posts from last week that i cannot see.

  11. List view width adjustments

    The current list view has 3 parts, specified as:
    120px, 58%, 66px

    This mixture of % and fixed pixels corrupts the display on small screens, and wastes space on large screen.

    Please remove the "4 hours ago" on the right side, and this allows for a nice: 20% (feed title) 80% (article title) layout.

    This keeps all titles properly justified, and using all available space, at all screen sizes.

    (This also fixes: "Wrap text in list view", and many others)

  12. Add a style to current/active item

    Unless I'm missing something, there is nothing to distinguish the current/selected item from any other unread item (the left border goes away). Something to distinguish it would be nice - or even just add an active class to that item so I can do it with my user css :)

  13. highlight the mobile web on your website.

    I'm a Google Reader refugee and I really like what I see in The Old Reader!

    Many people are looking for a mobile app and don't seem to realize that the mobile web version is excellent!

    I suggest you highlight this for new users as a way to satisfy those folks. Just add a shortcut button that goes to the web page and presto, no need for a native app.

    Many people seem to want an app for everything, when many apps just a the browser internally.

  14. Mobile website unstable and breaks too easily

    I can barely use TOR from my Android phone (4.1.2) from the Browser AND Firefox for Android 21.

    After a server error or randomly when performing any action, I will be either stuck on the Home screen, or I will be logged out.

    I do not experience this from Win 7 Firefox 21... well maybe rarely.

  16. Import *.opml files into a folder

    At present, I click Import. I then have almost one hundred entries under Subscriptions. Could Import place its output in a folder instead? E. g., Cat Videos, instead of having one hundred cat videos that have to be placed one-by-one into a New Folder. Thanks

  17. Have an option for people who just want to actually read their articles.

    That means no gradients, rounded corners or silly fonts.

  19. support feeds with broken hostnames

    Old Reader doesn't currently support feeds with technically broken hostnames like username-.tumblr.com/rss while Google Reader and several other readers do.

    I'd really love to see Old Reader as a complete replacement for Google Reader and for that I think at a minimum you need to be able to support all the same feeds.

  20. Refresh button and 'r' key not working the same

    The 'r' key does not refresh my feeds. If I press 'r', the screen fades for a moment, then returns, but does not update the feed. If I then immediately click the 'Refresh' button, I get several new items in the feed. This happens in many feeds, but one example is: http://rss.briefing.com/Investor/RSS/StoryStocks.xml. Please fix
