Hello,

I just got word of this app, and it looks pretty promising. I
especially like the use of me in a couple of the screenshots. Thanks!

There are three things that make BuddyFeed a nonstarter for me, and
hopefully they're easy things to fix, because it's an otherwise neat
application:

1. No "hide" support. Not honoring hide settings and not being able to
hide stuff really breaks FriendFeed. Is this an issue with the API?

2. No "lists" support. Not as bad as not being able to hide stuff, but
it stinks to not be able to traverse my lists to find people. Is this
also an issue with the API?

3. The comment button is effectively hidden due to the choice of icon:
it looks like a "go back" button. It took me a good long while to
figure out that it was for commenting, and I really just blindly
guessed. Could you please change it to something more reflective of
"comment" or "write something?"

Like I said, it's a pretty neat app, and I'm looking forward to its
continued development.

Thanks and all the best,

Mark Trapp

Hi Mark,

Great thanks for trying the app and giving all the suggestions.

1. The "hide" setting will be honored in the next version.

2. "List" support will be added for the next version.

3. The icon is the native one for "Reply". You may find the same
icon in the "Mail" for replying the mail. Maybe I should change it
to the one as "Post".

Best Regards,
Robin Lu

Yes! Lists would be an addition of much awesomeness! ;)
