Glad you’re enjoying NewsBlur! I agree, I love it and when I check in on the alternatives, I’m always questioning their decisions.
What gestures would you like to see? We already support swipe gestures on story titles. We also have full story gestures for swiping between stories.
Can you post an annotated screenshot with what you’re seeing and would like to change? @andrei is super responsive to these types of requests and it’s always nice to improve the user experience, esp. through gestures.
