Here's what Feedly could do better. It could strip down. When I look for an RSS reader, I don't look for something that looks like the front page of HN.
I do look for a simple list of feeds, with folders. That's it, nothing more. That's all I need. When I open a single feed, the articles display.
Of course having filtering is nice, but not necessary. There are plenty of services out there that will do that for me. I don't read feeds based on anyone's curation, including Feedly's. I read them based on whatever I'm interested in reading that day.
