Comment on Show HN: We just launched our MVP, a new RSS Reader

Comments

Great start.

However, as a heavy RSS user, an MVP isn't gonna cut it for me.

Couple of specific things are going to prevent me from using your product:

1. Your UI shows way too few feed items on a page. Compared to Google Reader, for example, you display maybe 30% as much content on a single page. That makes reading RSS feeds slow on your product.

2. There is no ability to group RSS feeds in any way. I'm not a single interest kinda of a person, so my RSS subscriptions contain all kinds of content. I don't read all that content the same way, and I don't feel like reading some of the content all the time.

I like the filtering capability you have on the feeds. This is something I've been missing for some time. I wish you'd expand it from simple keywords to maybe regular expression based. Look into how killfiles in Usenet clients used to work for inspiration maybe.
