Using it now. Feels a bit weird, but I don't hate it yet. Doesn't look like it honors your hides by default. - Bwana ☠

I wonder what the hate button does >:) - Bwana ☠

You're right - mioNews still has some rough edges. I believe I overlooked the hides. I'll get that taken care of ASAP. - Patrick Lightbody

This is pretty cool. I'd have to really consider if I want to read every single feed item, though. - Mark Trapp

FriendFeedMachine, at debut, did not honor hides, but it was an overnight update. I expect Patrick can do the same. - Louis Gray

Patrick, since you're here: any chance of making the commenting function not a modal dialog? A lot of times I need to refer back to the conversation or other conversations when writing up a comment. - Mark Trapp

Actually, there are a bunch of functions that use modal dialogs. I'd love to see those replaced with immediate actions and an undo feature, instead. - Mark Trapp

Mark - yes, that should be pretty easy to do too. I'll get it added to the list. - Patrick Lightbody

I like the topic section... good ideas with a good UI. - Bwana ☠

Just have a try, feel weird too. - K.D.

If you get keyboard shortcuts in this thing, I might have to stay a while :) - Bwana ☠

This thing rocks! Nice job - Todd McKinney

Interesting - I feel like I'm in email. Checking it out more. - Hutch Carpenter

Quick question, in the My Friends section, when you create a folder, how do you add people to it? Also, do you have a friendfeed room? I'm going to flood you with feedback and I don't want to hijack Louis's thread - Bwana ☠

Duh, big Support/Feedback link goes to the room. :P - Bwana ☠

I second Bwana's request for keyboard shortcuts. Give me Google Reader shortcuts, and I'd be a happy man. - Mark Trapp

To add people to a folder, just drag the little "person" icon in to the folder. I'll get keyboard shortcuts on the list as well. - Patrick Lightbody

Patrick, is there a way to see stuff you've already marked as read? - Mark Trapp

Mark - not currently, but that would be easy enough to add. I plan to add a few additional sections below "Home" and "FriendFeed", such as "Likes" and "Comments". Adding a "Read" would make sense right there. - Patrick Lightbody

Cool. This definitely has promise; I'll be following this closely :) - Mark Trapp

should be on Techmeme soon ;-) - Duncan Riley

I have just left this running in the background while I work and almost an hour has gone and it's still loading my feeds! - Joe Dawson

Too slow. Not sure why I will use this. - Prakash

Can't even load the damn thing! - Sasha Kovaliov(.com) from twhirl

it's already working - retry - Masha from twhirl

Where is my big fat button "Mark EVERYTHING as read" :) - Sasha Kovaliov(.com) from twhirl

the button is on a diet! :-D - Masha from twhirl

you can integrate twitter into it. it seems that no service can't live w/o integrating hald-dead birdie :) - Sasha Kovaliov(.com) from twhirl

Received a "proxy error" (?!) when trying to use it. It looks like something I'd like if I ever get to use it... - Vince DeGeorge

It will work. Just keep on trying. I couldn't get in for about an hour. - Sasha Kovaliov(.com) from twhirl

oh, so it works kind of like twitter? - Vince DeGeorge

Ahahaha :) seems like - Sasha Kovaliov(.com) from twhirl

Sorry everyone for the downtime - there is a load-related bug that is being a pain in my butt right now. I'll get it fixed today or tonight and then the site should be much more stable. Thanks for your interest! - Patrick Lightbody

Mionews getting great buzz on FF. I found this and followed the comments via Feedly. - Russellreno

mioNews now has keyboard shortcuts! They will be documented soon, but the keys are: j/k for next/prev entry, shift-n/shift-p for next/prev item on the left-hand-side, r to toggle read/unread state, s to share, c to comment, l to like, h to hate, and o to open the entry in a new window. Enjoy! - Patrick Lightbody
