I have built https://feeder.co https://feeder.co would love HN’s feedback.

  Big fan, I use it everyday. That said, I do have one small complaint. It is with a change just made in the last few days: the new iOS app update makes it so if you are on the list of all unread articles and you swipe left to mark an article as read, then the article disappears from the list. I’ve repeatedly accidentally marked an article as read and then had to go searching through all my feeds to find it. Instead, it should have the old behavior where it removes the “NEW” icon but otherwise doesn’t change. The app currently still had this behavior when you actually open the article and view it. Even better would be a complete feed sorted by date that shows both read and unread but has unread at the top. This would be similar to how the iOS mail app works.

    Thanks for the feedback. Cool to find a user on Hacker News! That's something I hadn't considered. I personally felt it more satisfying to mark as read when the post flies out. But I agree that it can be inconvenient. Do you think an Undo button would help (not sure if you've tried the Outlook iOS app, but it does it really well)? We have better sorting options in the web and browser extensions, adding them to our iOS and Android apps is prio though. I like the idea with unread at the top!

      An undo button would definitely help, especially if it is able to undo multiple times. Thanks for the fast help! I really appreciate it, and it will make me even more likely to keep on using Feeder in the future
