"Floating" buttons (like the Mark all Read button) not good for touch screens

Hey, you have a floating “Mark all as Read” button that appears as the mouse rolls over it over the timestamp of last updated. Unfortunately, this is terrible for a touch screen, as you can’t have “floating” buttons that appear only when a pointing device float over them.

I use NewsBlur on several devices, including a Windows 8 Pro Tablet. Unfortunately, I can’t touch the Mark all as Read button…I have to manually use the settings gear, and mark the feed as completely read.

Try to avoid floating buttons that only appear as the mouse goes over them in your coding, as they are not touch screen friendly…
