Discussion
Big divide in the original readers
 * is it an inbox where you have to read every item
 * or more like a stream that lets you dip in and out
 * a hybrid

What do we want an Indie reader to do?


 * read feeds - rss/atom, h-feed, twitter/fb/silos
 * inbox/stream
 * actions: share/reply/repost/upvote/fave/bookmark/rsvp
 * works on a phone
 * hide/block/mark as spam
 * mark as read
 * grouping (shane posted this photo on x, y, z rather than as separate items)
 * volume control per feed - filters
 * mailbox rules
 * full content in the reader
