Backstory: I built this last year and forgot all about it. Re-discovered it on my junk server last month and I've been using it ever since. Polished overnight and now released to the lions den. Take a look, feedback welcome. What do you think?

#42May i suggest line-height: 160% I know it will take away a few links from the viewarea but you will be able to read them faster IMHO.

#43If you made this a service, here's what would make me switch:
- customizable feeds (kind of obvious I guess)
- ability to mark items as read/unread (link color is not enough - I want to skip some items, or just read them all from the blog itself without clicking individual items)
- have individual feed header be a link to the feed's main page (it's the element in RSS) - customize number of items per feed (e.g. I'd want more items for feeds which update frequently)
Nice to haves:
- tabs (I have LOTS of feeds - would be easier to manage instead of long scrolling)
- along with using the element above, ability to override this, because I've noticed lots of feeds that don't set it properly (link to the domain root instead of the blog root, e.g.)
