I like this! I'm right now reading Ars on it and it works pretty well.
A tiny request: Would it be possible to allow changing the background graphic? Maybe a wallpaper of my choosing? Also, a method to "archive" in addition to saving tagged articles would be awesome. Having to tag if I want to keep an article permanently each time may be a bit cumbersome.
Edit: Oops, nevermind about the background image. Found bg.jpg in Sputnik\app\visual\images ;)
None of my OS X apps are signed either and honestly it is because you have to pay Apple $100 every year to be able to sign them. As a student I have quite a lot of free time to work on Open Source applications but $100 every 12 months is still quite a lot of money for a hobby where I give away the fruits of my work for free.
(Or at least I can't find out how to sign it without paying)
Press is a decent Android app with a lot of sync options. I use it with my reader via Fever API. The only complaint is that it has a few memory leaks which causes it to crash every now and then on memory constrained devices.
If you have a server where you can install something yourself, I recommend TinyTinyRSS[1], or if you already run a ownCloud instance then ownCloud News[2]. For both of them there are desktop and mobile clients, TTRSS even has a fever plugin[3] which mimics the fever API so you can use it with all clients which only support the fever API too.
Strongly recommend giving Feedbin a go (http://feedbin.me) - only $3 per month and a great client (plus a number of mobile and desktop apps to choose from).
Why does it use less than half of my monitor width? I'm on a 1920 x 1080, and the feed pane is only 770 pixels wide - and not resizable. What's the purpose of this? Most of the screen estate is wasted for a wallpaper of author's choice, instead of displaying the content I'm actually interested in. I find this design choice really hard to understand.
This looks really, really good. the UX is pretty sleak.
I'm switching from Leaf to Sputick for a few days and see how it goes. Only needs some work on those media queries.
It seems not to be able to synchronize my read/starred articles with any server (TinyTinyRSS, feedly, ownCloud News, feever, etc.). For me this functionality is essential because I use 4 different devices to read my feeds, but I understand that there are people out there who only read them on one devise.

I'm fine with running it but a lot of people might not bother with security settings.
