I like the look of this _much_ better than Newsblur, but I also want to be able to filter by feed. I didn't see that this is possible on Alt. Did I miss something?

edit: ah, i see what i missed.... Still, I'd like not to have to do that mouse-over to get to the list.

Yes. IMO that list is core and shouldn't be hidden away. Maybe a good compromise would be to allow it to be expanded, and not block the underlying text when expanded. i.e. an option to tuck it off to the side an leave it in place.

For my purposes, it works well with the list hidden, since I vary rarely use it. However, in developing this, I have found that having to open and close it as much as is currently required if you do use it (unless your monitor is very wide) is annoying, so I'll probably change it soon.
