The one feature that I actually care about and no one seems to have is full text search of your feed history. This is a feature I'm willing to pay money for. Why isn't anyone doing this?

Otherwise very good job! I like it :)

#13The fact that we have created news readers for people who just want to read news, and blogging platforms for people who just want to blog, shows us how much we have degenerated... This shouldn't be the exception, but the norm.

#15In light of all the recent talk of privacy, I'd want to know more about how this is handled by the service. The web page is remarkably lacking in any click throughs for detail on the bullet points. Definitely a sticking point for deciding whether to sign up.

#16The design of this seems very similar to yoleoreader.com. I'm not having a go; I suspect that as this market space becomes more popular, we will see lots of similar designs (even if they're arrived at independently) -- but it might be worth spending some time to differentiate yourself a little more.

This has been requested a thousand of times already, and we're listening. It's on the top of our list. We're dealing with some problems about feed data right now, but as soon as they're fixed we'll start working on it.

Yeah, that's a feature that I want too, helper. We even discussed about it when we were deciding the features we would include in this initial release, and we decided not to include search at all. For now.
Full-text search is a feature that is very resource-intensive, and providing something like that for now would be like a shot in the foot: for us, that manage the servers, which would have a bad time trying to balance the things; and for you, users, which wouldn't have a good user experience.
So, yeah, it always've been on our mind, but not for now.
