Just moved over from Google Reader less than a week ago and loving NNW so far. The keyboard shortcuts are great and overall NNW is definitely to Google Reader what Mail is to to Gmail's web interface; as I'd been told to expect.
There is one missing feature in comparison which keeps bothering me though.
I like to have my subscriptions kept in folders, but I like to keep those open so I can easily see who has updated what without needing to delve into the compound folder view (which both NNW and Google Reader would give you on the right if you click on the parent folder instead of an individual feed).
Using NNW like I do – all folders opened up and feeds ranked by number of posts – is really good, with one omission. I'd like to be able to hide subscriptions which don't have unread posts *in the left subscriptions list* as well as in the right hand folder view.
Is there an underlying issue which makes this hard to implement?
As far as I can tell, there's a 1:1 mapping between every feed you have and it being displayed in the subscriptions list (collapsed folders notwithstanding). Would altering this with a hide action break a neat symmetry which keeps the app's internal design clean?
Note: I really like being able to see previously read items inside individual feeds. They're really useful for catching up on a running story you may have forgotten from someone who doesn't update much. What I'm looking for is a way to control the *overview* rather than to obliterate everything which has been marked as read from the entire system.

| An option to hide feeds with no unread items is on the to-do list. I can't make any promises as to when we'll get to it -- but it is indeed something we plan to do.
