It sure looks nice, but I feel too much screen estate are used to show feed list and article list: while I haven't measured it, it looks like only around 1/4 of the area is used for article content. and the article content is why you want to use a feed reader in the first place.

For me to consider using this feed reader, the area for the actual contents should have at least the same area as the article list. Possibly even swap the two areas.

I have been thinking about making those panels resizable, but haven't decided how to implement it yet. For me, the bottom panel is just a preview so I can decide whether to click the link.

Thanks for taking a look!

It is always good to see someone is developing a RSS reader. I have one too. I also run a public service that might be useful to you:

* load feed (RSS2/Atom/JSON) server side

* normalize the feeds that fix up many anomalies

* skip the items that the client-side already have

* build a full-text search index while all feeds passed though the service

* still keeping everyone anonymous
