Finding an Unread Article
Took a flyer on this app, looking to replace Reeder until it comes back from the dead. Ive spend only a few hours with this app so far...
Indeed, if you have more that 5 feeds it is a pain to add them since Feedy doesnt support OPML imports or exports for that matter. I opened an OPML file and searched for each and every feed URL. Really!
The 2nd oddity I found was that there is no way to search for next unread article. Some of my feeds are not in folders and there is a blue dot next to "Stories" but the unread article is nowhere in sight. Scrolling a lot (I have > 50 feeds) the unread article did not appear. Where is it? The workaround is to go to the Feeds folder and look at the list of feeds. The feed with the unread article, scroll scroll, is the one with the unread number to the right. Turned out that it was just a Tornado Watch in another state. I confess Feedy, I really didnt care about that and you were right.
I will say the app looks nice, and I added a bunch of keywords to help with its internal rating feature. I have no idea if thats working.
At least I like the app icon and the overall look and feel. I hope the developer will add the find next unread feature with a keyboard interface like n for next or maybe ->. Better yet, make the keyboard commands configurable please!
Im gonna stick with this for awhile and see if I can adjust to this app.
