I also have the iPhone version and frequently "star" posts for later
viewing (I believe this is a Google Reader feature as well). How do I
view the posts I've starred in NNW for mac?

Flagged items are the same as starred items. So just view your flagged items on the Mac.

However, I know of some syncing bugs where they don't all always appear on the Mac -- and I'm working on those.

Sounds good with you working on the flagged items. It works great on
the Windows client and the iPhone App. When the syncing works as
expected I will pay up to get rid of the ads :)

I have paid, but at the moment find NNW unusable without syncing of
Starred items, so I'm forced to use Google Reader's web interface,
which I really would prefer not to have to do. What's the prognosis,
Brent - when might you have this working properly? I would love to go
back to using NNW, and would be very happy to help with beta testing
if that'll speed things up...

I'm currently working on syncing performance, efficiency, and accuracy. It's *extremely* hard to guess when a certain thing will be available, and so I don't even like to try, knowing I'll be wrong.

But I am working in this area.

As a workaround you could make "Starred items" public in Google Reader
(under Settings > Folders and Tags), then subscribe to its feed (in
NNW Mac and/or elsewhere). Limitation is that items can't be
unstarred from the feed on clients since it's read-only, of course.

Actually, that works quite well as an interim step - much better than
Flagged items feed, which has been useless to me. Thanks for the
tip! Looking forward to a proper fix, Brent (and thanks for keeping
my dreams robot-free!).
