Wow, I'm really enjoying using this, slick looking too. I really like all the little touches you've added, the UX is great. I think you've come the closest yet to the simplicity that google reader offered. I would try as hard as possible to maintain the feeling of simplicity in your design even when adding more features.

A few feature requests, feed importing, profile editing and a larger feed view (maybe collapse the sidebars?) also folders to be able to sort feeds you've added and the respective views.

edit: updated some things

Thanks for the feedback, those are certainly on my list. I have only finished the most basics! Next is adding all these features :)

The UX is indeed very nice. Just a small issue: FF19 on OSX 10.8.3 displays a horizontal scrollbar. Looks like a margin or padding problem with the central feed element.

The feeds are also a folder you can put more feeds into, rename, etc. Unless you refer to folders inside folders?

Ah ok, I see now. I think that interaction could be a bit more clear. I would be nice to be able to drag and drop the feeds in and out of the site groups, as well as expand/collapse the groups on the "News" page.

Also, when I added a feed, it wasn't immediately clear that I was making a folder because it grabs the name of the feed, I thought I had just added a standalone feed to my general list.

I understand. I like the drag and drop idea. Its clean and simple. Ill see what I can do about making the folder more clear by changing the icon of the new 'group' to look like a folder!
