Web Based Feed Readers That Don't Bust Unions
Fails To Handle Atom XHTML titles
See bug report:
- https://plus.google.com/110760594609453531817/posts/2J3wWDsJFnU
- 2015-08-26 appears to be fixed? https://kartikprabhu.com/notes/re-feedly-title-fix
Consider putting this for your Atom title element (inside the entry element) to help encourage users to encourage getting this bug fixed (and stay fixed! live regression tests are a good thing.)
<title type="xhtml">
<div class="if-your-feed-reader-displays-this-then-it-is-violating-the-Atom-spec-RFC-4287-section-4.2.14" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

No Offline Support
Feedly native app on Android (and iOS??) does not load anything when offline. So one cannot read posts even tough they had been previously downloaded.
Home page is js dr
(noticed 2017-026)
http://feedly.com/ is blank if javascript is disabled or fails to load (js;dr).
Upon loading it with JS, there's no reason the static logged-out content there couldn't be served directly from the server.

Collapsed whitespace around HTML
gRegor Morrill: I had a friend report that the spaces around links in my feed were being collapsed, and the inline style for a striked-out word did not come through. Testing with Tantek Γelik's feed also shows the collapsed whitespace around links.
- gRegor Morrill reported this on the Feedly Google+ community (original note), but has not heard back as of 2017-02-19
