Two ideas:
1- I’d like to have an option that Google Reader had: a full column of titles and excerpts on the right instead of having an extra reading pane. I prefer to open my articles in new browser tabs anyway.
2- Making the interface a bit less graphical-heavy, more focused on the content.
If you go to the dev version I believe it has what you’re wanting in the list mode.
Unless there is something I’m not finding, it’s not there. Please look at the attached snapshot to see what I want to have.
The only time when I found what I wanted was when clicking on “All Site Stories”.
The great thing about Google Reader was being able to show a single feed or a folder with that same kind of view.
On the dev version which Richard4339 also linked above there is a list kind of similar to that which you can toggle in the upper right corner. Unfortunately you still have to click an item and then click it again to actually open the site (though I think Google Reader did that as well) and the only way to close it is to click a small toggle in the top right of the selected item, suppose you could just scroll down to the next though.
The switch you want to click is marked with red in the image.
Indeed you can do this, however if the story titles pane is set to show on the left (which I personally find more useful, especially on a widescreen monitor) hiding the reading pane doesn’t switch over to the more compact list view (where everything is on one line) that you get when the story titles pane is on the top or bottom. Considering this version is still in preview, I’m not opening a topic about this for now. Hope it’ll get fixed in time.
Yea, that’s likely one of the things which will improve in the next few weeks I imagine, the left hand story titles pane have several issues right now.
Hide/unhide sites and stories panes:
shift + u (for some reason does not work in dev mode yet)
shift + t
? for more of these keyboard shortcuts
Ok, I see what you’re saying. I didn’t use that look on Reader, but its the equivalent of the All Sites view that I did use, which isn’t something I’ve found a way to do on NewsBlur.
Thanks for trying to help. But I looked at those shortcuts and they’ll do anything but what I want.
Gods, this Google Reader shutdown is a nightmare. There’s no real replacement.
I would rather remove the story title pane…one of the reasons I use reader was to avoid the websites, unless I wanted to write about the link.
Use the development version.
