Well, as a blog reader, I rather like the absence of bloggers' visual glory when I read my feeds. I'm interested in articles, not in someone else's design skills. Especially since, in most readers, I can set my own CSS preferences and thus read feeds that are not only stripped off but then customized exactly how I like them.
- arturadib 16y agoHi crux, At some point it boils down to personal preference, but here's a counterpoint from a reader's perspective: When all of my 50+ feeds look identical, sometimes it is hard for me to identify whose blog I am reading based on its title alone--"this is an interesting article, but who's this JoeDoe guy again?". By seeing the actual website I can more quickly identify the guy. I guess in this case, "a web design is worth a thousand words". I'm not saying Feedlooks is for everyone; it sure is for me, and hopefully for many other people. Thanks for the honest feedback though!

- mgkimsal 16y agoI don't want to be all wishy-washy here, but possibly in a future version you might have the option to 'show full page' or 'just the naked version'. A quick toggle to switch back and forth would be handy.
- davidedicillo 16y agoI actually agree. I even went a step further, now I just look at my rss reader (Fever) and I instapaper what looks interesting to me.
