Hacker News Reader

I agree. I love the Google Reader UI, which is simple, easy to use, and has keyboard shortcuts.

The only thing I'd like changed is to have "j" take you onto the next item even if said item is in a different feed.

For that I press [Space], it changes to the next feed (or folder). If the article is open (and too long) just press [Enter] and then [Space] will have that effect.

When the next one is a folder (i dont usually read by folders) you can use Shift+N (next feed) and Shift+O (Open feed).

Now that I think about it, shortcuts in Reader and Gmail are extremely useful.

Yeah - it's shifting folders that's the problem - I wish that "j" would take me to the next item, even in other folders, rather than having to switch to using shift-n,shift-o.
