This looks really promising, actually signed up which is saying something because I've always leaned towards just using actual websites despite having built a few mobile RSS readers myself.

I am a bit confused with some UI elements though (perhaps because I wasn't a heavy Google Reader user):

1) Subscriptions are for grouping feeds ya? I see how I can create a new subscription and name it, but I'm totally failing on how to add a feed to it. If you go to the RSS page I see things I want to add, but no plus button or other interaction seems to do what I expect. Am I just confused?

2) Not sure if this is a setting somewhere, but having full articles open in a new tab would be nice.

3) Is there a way to set all the items in a single subscription as read?

4) What is the column on the right? Popular items? Some label there might be good.

Overall super cool, I like it! Keep it up man. If you continue developing it, consider a Bitcoin tip jar, I'd throw some your way.

Ah. You createa group and click on it (its highlighted) and then you move to the right side, and click on the feeds you want, you can use the input to search for feeds, or, put the feed directly into the input box.

The column on the right its popular views in your feed selection. The 'views' should hopefully outline this fact. I agree I have to setup a better method (or instructions) on how to add feeds to a group

Ah, ok.. Ya I think I was clicking on the link title before perhaps? I see it works if I click on the box instead. Just having a + button there would do worlds to explain that process I think.

Thanks.
