Subsequent iterations of FeedRebel will provide additional functionality and features more targeted towards publishers that will have a subscription fee.
Great feedback!! Lemme see if I can answer some of the points you raised.
I agree with the show more feeds link, will be making changes to that pretty soon.
With regards to the space utilization, the reason you see the extra blank space next to a feed is coz it is currently ear marked for showing the feed unread count if you should turn it on in your account settings (by default the unread count display is set to don't show) and also to accommodate the feed settings icon which pops up when you hover over the feed.
I believe I have a solution that will create a better user experience, plan to do that as soon as I'm done with the below.
Chrome/Firefox extension, export and drag and drop are all features that will be added shortly. Currently working on getting a mobile version out.
By the way, I wasn't talking about the horizontal space. That's fine as it is and looks OK with the unread numbers next to the feeds. My issue was with the vertical space. Even with a lot of feeds, vertically I have a very big (tall) space available. That's why "Show/Hide feeds" option didn't make any sense to me. Although I can see the need for that option once I have a lot of folders to fill the sidebar, but you can surely automate that option to be available once the sidebar doesn't have any available space left, right? I'm not a programmer but it sounds like that's something technically possible to do (adjusting it for different screen sizes might be a pain though).
Great to hear those features are coming!
One small suggestion: if you want some more publicity, you may want to add Reeder support. I have no idea whether that's something easy to do or not, but feedbin's gotten a lot of free publicity over their support for Reeder.
Yes, you can set the default view to be the feed version. Currently it is at a feed level, simply click on the settings icon for the feed and change the last option Story/Article view to always show the feed version.
I have been working on building my own(FeedRebel.com) for the past few weeks. It's far from perfect at the moment and web only. I plan on doing a Show HN at some point but would love some early feedback as well. Here is the url http://www.feedrebel.com
If you don't qualify for an SSN you can get an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) that can be used for some things in place of an SSN, but it's not a "first class" identifier. I think an ITIN is fine for setting up a bank account, but it's been a while since I did it.
I'm going through the bank opening process as we speak with SVB however I'm from the UK and with a new branch of SVB being opened in London, I feel the OP will be in a different position as he isn't from the UK.
