I fixed some other stuff (like the icon) while fixing the padding. I don't know if you'll have any use for it now that that pull request has been made but maybe you'll find something in this useful:
There are quite a few examples of open source but paid applications. One that comes to mind is Gina Trapani's Todo.txt app that someone forked, cleaned up and put on the Google play store. She went into that quite a bit on her podcast: http://5by5.tv/inbeta/47. If your app is open source, don't be surprised if that happens. Such scenarios are part of the value you are claiming.

[ 201 ms ] story [ 508 ms ] threadI checked the MetaFilter website and it looks somewhat better, although I still don't like the colors.
Other feedback: I know you say what's coming next in development. Maybe add some text about what is already there, so users aren't disappointed.

How exactly will this work? I mean opening the code and keeping the app paid. Will accepted pull requests get a cut of the money?
How long before someone takes this code and builds another reader for metafilter?
You can install for free as fast as paid. Is the point to pay out of goodwill, or should a little more hassle be introduced?
