I really like what you guys have done here. Ever since Google Reader switched over to the Google+ design, I've been looking for a replacement. This is a great MVP, but for me, there is one feature I would NEED before I would consider switching. Google Reader shows you a count of how many posts are unread, and as you read them, it removes it from the list. That feature is the most important for me. Any plans on addres…

If you choose the "Blank" starter pack then you can import your OPML file from Google Reader.

Yes, but that doesn't address the feature that I was looking for.

Love the subscription packs and the friction free signup, but once I'd picked a pack, I wanted to go back and add another pack to my set of subscriptions... but couldn't figure out how, probably because this is an MVP. When looking at my subscriptions I clicked on the pub in the upper left to go to your homepage (to add a pack to my subscriptions) and what it does is change the view in some way that's totally not obv…

Had the same experience but if you click on the original link from HN again you can add other packs. Probably just needs a link back to that landing page.

Looks really nice, but I'd like to know more about its unique value proposition (what makes me use it instead of Google Reader, where I have all my stars and shares, and great search).

It looks really great and it has some quite comprehensive features. Which actually sends me back to what one of LinkedIn's founder once said[1]: If You're Not Embarrassed By The First Version Of Your Product, You’ve Launched Too Late

If this is the first MVP of the idea, it might be worthwhile checking out Ash Maurya's great post[2] on the subject.

1. Formatting is FUBARed when zooming in (Chrome browser). 2. OPML import? Already have a set of RSS subscriptions, need to be able to import existing feed list, don't wish to reenter all these in… /goodluck on the venture.

In edit subscriptions you can do an OPML import. I had the same first thought.

What is broken though is they don't seem to support folders.
