Subscribe to feeds by tags
For example, I want to read posts from http://allboxing.ru/atom.xml tagged as "Professional Boxing" only (most of posts are not interesting for me). It would be very useful. Thank you!
1 voteI’ve implemented filtering
http://blog.bazqux.com/2014/04/filters-and-smart-streams.html
Select allboxing feed, search for tag:“Professional boxing” and press New filter => Show found items only.
It will hide all other items in this feed. -
Mark all as read feature in a filter view
Hi, when I filter all posts in all feeds by some search term ('subject:microsoft' for example) it's impossible to mark all filtered results as read either with the interface button or with the keyboard sortcut.

Slashdot posts have excess whitespace
Not sure if this is unique to Slashdot, but its where I see it. When browsing a folder of feeds, Slashdot's posts have inches of white space after the article is completed.
1 voteReader now removes excess whitespace at the end of the most of the posts.

Scroll wheel should not change article focus
Currently, operating the scroll wheel moves the article focus. The scroll wheel should move the list view without changing the "cursor" position.
60 votesI think that current behavior solves 90% of the problem and keeps marking items read on scroll 90% working. So I marking this request as completed.
Previous responseI’ve changed list view so cursor doesn’t go up while scrolling and go down only when expanded item is almost completely scrolled out of screen.
So marking items read on scroll still works and cursor doesn’t jump to top item while scrolling.
Other view modes are unaffected (and in mixed view cursor “locks” on list view items as described above).
Please check. Does this new behavior work for you?

Larger message font
Currently the message font is a bit small (for me). It would be nice if you can set a minimal font size for the message (only the message, not the whole page).
38 votesIt’s now possible to change font size by using – = or _ + keyboard shortcuts

Fully implement Pocket API.
Currently the Pocket share service isn't using the API. So you get directed to a pocket edit screen when you click it, which you then have to close. This takes away from the 'one click, read later' aspect of the service.

Add some date ranges to 'mark all as read'.
Google reader has a drop down button on its 'mark all as read' that lets you set a date range. "'All items, items older than a day, items older than a week". I miss that on BazQux.

IFTTT Channel
It would be great to see an IFTTT Chanel added to allow IFTTT to interact with our bazqux subscriptions. Reader had this, Feedly has it now, it might be easy to work with IFTTT to implement a channel based on the Reader channel.
46 votesIt’s now possible to use IFTTT with new public feed feature

Retrieve Feed URL from Subscriptions
Clicking on the subscriptions will lead you to the feed's info site (tag channel/link) which is not necessarily the feed's URL, eg:
http://rss.sueddeutsche.de/rss/Eilmeldungen is the feed URL
http://www.sueddeutsche.de/ is the Channel LinkI think I can get the latter via exporting the the OPML but if there was a direct link on BazQux Reader, that'd be a great help.
5 votesIt’s now possible. Right-Click on the feed in subscriptions list and chose “Feed address” menu item

It needs at least 2 rows, because now the titles are often truncated.
8 votesDone. Mosaic view now has as many rows as needed to show full article title.

More keyboard commands
I'd like to be able to read all my news by keyboard commands alone, like I could with the original Google Reader. A lot of things are implemented, but many are not.
For instance, I cannot navigate between feeds like I could on Google Reader with Shift-p/n commands.
Google Reader offered the following commands:
Navigation
j/k: next/previous item
space: next item or page
<Shift> + space: previous item or page
n/p: item scan down/up (list only)
<Shift> + n/p: next/previous subscription
<Shift> + x: expand folder
<Shift> + o: open subscription or folder
Application
r: refresh
f: toggle full screen…59 votesAlmost all of them are now implemented

Since ‘g’ is already busy for Readability I’ve changed “g then ..” to “d then ..”. It’s actually even easier, since your don’t need to move finger. -
More frequent fetching of feeds that are updated more often
The frequency of feed updates is a good indication of how often feeds should be fetched. Feeds with entries every hour or two should be fetched several times in 10 minutes, while feeds with only one or two entries per month can be fetched once or twice a day.
18 votesFeeds that update every hour or two are already fetched each 15-45 minutes. Plus there are many realtime feeds. I don’t think it worth to scan them more often. Otherwise websites could start to ban BazQux Reader feed fetchers.

Fix please - list of acticles is emptied after click on "Mark all as read"
The case: mode "Show all" is ON. We see the read articles in grey font and new ones in black font. Once we click on "Mark all as read" the list of articles gets totally cleared and emptied. To see them all again (in grey) the page should be reloaded.
That really makes me totally crazy. Any way to help?4 votesFixed
