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. Customizable refresh rate (update schedule) for a particular feed

    Add an option to customize (mostly to increase) timeout between content retrieval for a particular feed.
    Use case: high volume feed results in frequent portions of posts (likely few times a day); with less frequent retrieval it's easier to get more posts to read them in one sitting and have it in clear (all read) state for a longer period of time.

  2. Auto read 'old' items

    I only want to read 'current' items on some sites / folders, especially news sites for example. It would be great if per feed I could set BazQux to auto read posts that are older than a determined set amount.

    So in my news folder anything older than 1 day would be auto read as it's old news and I don't want to read it / would have seen it on twitter etc.

    However items in my personal development folder would never be auto read as I want to read them when time allows.

    Items in my mobile tech news…

    AdminVladimir Shabanov (Developer, BazQux Reader) responded

    It’s possible with time-based filters. Search for
    time:[now-1w *]
    or
    time:[now-1d *]
    in your feed and click “New filter” => “Show found items only”

    For more search options you could look into “Search hints” section of Help.

  3. url Links Button & mods menu in settings

    We often use bazqux in other machines (public, etc).... mod to store some important links would be very preciated

    (like button "Open all links")

    concept below:

  4. Apple Pay

    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!

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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. 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

  10. 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.

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  13. 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 ....

  14. 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…

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

  17. 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

  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. 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.
