Some suggestions: - When adding a feed, include feed detection code, so that I can type in a URL and have the feed auto-detected, instead of having to find the exact feed URL - Allow a threshold for downmodding like HN... only submitters with X or more karma can downmod.

Totally off-topic (except that it's linked from the article) but techcrunch's reddit clone is hilariously and pathetically empty. More on topic, I'd like to see more options to customize the "editorial policy" of your site - how many votes to get promoted, how user karma works, how sites get blocked, manual overrides, and so on.

More on topic, I'd like to see more options to customize the "editorial policy" of your site - how many votes to get promoted, how user karma works, how sites get blocked, manual overrides, and so on.
