Auto-read certain feeds automatically #247

This is one use case that stops me from using many RSS readers and why I stick to email newsletter instead. It's the ability to mark certain feeds as read after some period of time.

An example. I subscribed to the 20percent Berlin newsletter that covers weekly Berlin news. It's a fastfood reading but sometimes I don't have time to read, so skip a week or more. But in two weeks or a months these news are not actual anymore and can be moved to "read". My email provider allows to set the TTL for the newsletter, while many RSS readers can't

Yes, I have this case too and here and thought about it.

Here is my current plan:

  1. You need to add this type of feed to Fun section.
  2. In Fun section there is no unread count, just a feed.
  3. And this feed will be removed after X news

The Fun naming doesn’t fit every case, but the idea is that Useful is for something important, and Fun for something which you want to read occasionally, when you have time.

What do you think about this UX?
