We'll fix the display of the hard to read intervals. It's true that it's difficult to understand what 525600 minutes stands for. :)
We have noticed that a lot of people who used a different reader before have their subscriptions as Live Bookmarks. Unfortunately the Firefox WebExtension implementation does not let you read Live Bookmarks via the API which makes it impossible for the add-on to use or to import them. We are hopeful to see a change in the API but this will most likely take some time. See Bugzilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1418257
Unfortunately there are some feeds that don't follow the rules or behave in somehow peculiar manner. Usually the best option is to notify the feed provider that they should fix the feed rather than trying to fix N different readers to deal with their problems. If e.g. feed posts several articles with the same date stamp and you still want to see notifications, how should the reader behave? Show just the first? Show none? Show all but with larger intervals in between?

When selecting a folder from the article preview card, it is unclear which feed it belongs to, and there is no way to quickly delete the corresponding feed as no longer interesting.
When selecting Statistics, some feeds are immediately marked as Selected. Why?
RMB in the news list unexpectedly works like SMB.
There is no cloud syncing of feeds via browser, nor via Google Drive/Dropbox connection.
Mozilla Firefox 140.0b1 (64-bit), Feedbro 4.16.3 (Mar 24, 2024), Microsoft Windows 10.0.19045.5854. - Rated 4 out of 5by andrenix, a month agoIt is very good, almost perfect. The rules feature is very complete.
Unfortunately it lacks a "search" feature (or I couldn't find it), which would be very useful. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dra Vu, a month ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by jay, a month agolove it! but can we get an option to prevent the theme from changing the colors of the html article content? a lot of my articles look all weird because the theme is changing the background color

- Rated 1 out of 5by emaloney, 3 months agoStopped working with eBay a few days ago. No response from Nodetics. Looks like it's dead in the water.
- Rated 4 out of 5by BethNicole, 3 months agoFirst Impressions are that it's exactly what I was looking for. I haven't found an empty feed option but I can live without thay.
- Rated 3 out of 5by McNamara, 3 months agoI wanted to get the feed article in full through your help file so that I could read the articles offline.
When only online, it just shows the web page.
After going offline, it searches the content by trying to connect again
Please let me know if you could improve it further. And provides the content offline
Then I don't have to search one which provides such feature

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14020785, 3 months agoThis has been the perfect feed reader for my needs, lots of functionality, except: I miss a way to move my starred articles over to a new browser installation. Is there a way to do this? Some of these articles are a couple of years old.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Grassini, 4 months agoA very useful addition!
It would be sensational if the template changed automatically at sunset from light to dark. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13529995, 4 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16181250, 4 months agoOne of the more advanced feed readers out there.
Can't make it work in private windows in spite of setting it to do so.
Couldn't find a way to give feedback to Nodetics
