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".

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.

  1. i'd like like to see amount of subscribers to a feed

    I know in a blog post you said it was distracting when looking for feeds to see the number of subscribers, but I think it would be a good idea because it helps you find the right feed faster. If you were searching for something, and a double feed popped up, but one had 3 subscribers, and another have 3,000, you would know which is the right one instead of having to go and verify.

  3. 3 Line preview of article

    Can you add an option where we have a 3 or 4 line preview of the selected article in list view, so we can see a bit about the article as we use the keyboard to scroll through articles and open interesting ones in the background. Thanks

  4. Allow special characters in filter searches

    I'd like to be able to search for certain strings like [Sponsor] - right now the "[" character causes an error, or if I try escaping it with [, it doesn't affect the results returned.

  5. Notifier Extension for Firefox

    One of the most essential features for me in an rss reader is an extension to see my unread articles. One seems to exist for chrome ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bazqux-notifier/fgoenlfbfnofepaodjepdhkoepoogedb ), but there doesn't appear to be one for firefox.

    Add Apple Pay as payment method! This is the second idea about Apple, the truth I’m in the ecosystem and I guess there are a lot of other people like me!

  8. Random read mode

    I have rarely the time to read all the articles, so at this time my unread count is about 5000. By standard you can read the articles sorted by publication date, so I'll never achieve to read the ones at the end of the list.

    It would therefore be nice to have a random reading list, so that old and new articles are sort of mixed. That way I will finally read those articles who now I will never reach ....

  9. Let users extend CSS per account

    It would be great to have the possibility to add custom persistent CSS rules to have the UI more appealing (e.g. font-size or colors). One could also use Stylish for that but I do not want to install it just for BazQux.

  10. If I subscribe to a new feed, i'd like it at the top of the list so I can find it easily

    right now when i use a bookmarklet to subscribe, the new feed goes somewhere down the bottom of my feeds list.

    This makes it super hard to find. Please add it at the top as an option

  11. Mark a feed as "full text" display

    There are loads of RSS feeds where the content is a lame link to a full page. For these, I systematically type "g" to retrieve the full text page.
    Having a full text option configurable on each feed would make a perfect addition.

  12. Some way to postpone reading an item until later, without marking it as read

    The problem: the top of my feed is perpetually clogged with things I want to get around to reading at some point, but not just right now. Meanwhile there are lots of older items I probably would be interested in reading right now (or would mark as read, if I'm no longer interested in them), but I never see them, because I would have to press "j" a hundred times to skip over all the other ones at the beginning.

    Potential solution #1: A "send to back" action which moves the item to the end of the list. It is…

  14. Absolute timestamps

    I would find it useful if there would be a setting for absolute timestamps instead of relative.

  15. make a service folders that syncs subscriptions with youtube

    Youtubes newsubscriptionvideos feed is going away soon. Importing googles youtube opml is an imperfect solution as it will go out of sync. It should be possible to make service folders in bazqux that is kept in sync with youtube accounts. The channels a user is subscribed to is available via the subscriptions.list call in youtube api v3 and the channel uploads are available cost free via https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=

    Proof of concept: https://github.com/sjefen6/yt-api-v3-newsubscriptionvideos

  16. Filter out short Twitter replies

    Twitter can be a great source for opinions and reading links. However sometimes you have many uninteresting short replies like:

    "@astridislief @wolterkroes1 Yeah! #manytags #blablabla"

    I want to filter them out. Better yet, I want to filter out all replies. But how to do that?

    These kind of tweets can be recognised by the fact that there are more mentions and tags (counted by characters) that the actual text (in this example "Yeah!").

    If there was some filter option like ("more mentions/tags than text") then I could use that to filter out most tweet noise ....

  18. Show a count for total items in tags

    Tagged items are very likely read by the user already, before they are tagged - so unless you mark them as unread after tagging they won't show up in the tagged item count. And then they also show up in the usual feed folders though they've already been dealt with. Wouldn't it make sense for the tag folders to show a count of total items?

    Mr.Reader uses this approach, it's a lot more helpful IMO. If you must show unread count within tags it could be shown in as total items/unread items. I'd personally prefer just the total count showing.

  19. Make unread count for folders a different colour

    to differentiate the jumble of numbers
    ... or even offset by a character to stand out just a little.

  20. Maintain empty tag names

    The service deletes the tag name when the tag has no more items. When Mr.Reader syncs, the tag name is deleted there too. This forces users to enter the same tag name everytime an item needs to use that tag. This isn't standard behaviour.
