@Maximilian: Firefox bcerahes the Mac OS X guidelines also. The entire toolbar area should be draggable (as in Safari). I’m not sure what you mean by ‘length’. It’s certainly taller, but in forcing users to target an area for dragging, it slows people down, and it’s also inconsistent. Users will drag on the toolbar buttons and be confused when the drag action does not work. (Alternatively, some users probably won’t think they can move the window at all.)@@: Yes, taller is the best description of the Mac App store. However, I do not see this as slowing people down at all, rather I find that making it taller allows for a much more easily selectable drag bar. The drag bar in other applications like Firefox, TextEdit, OpenOffice, all of them are skinny and are difficult to select.

Love Reeder. Love Evernote…but I keep getting the login screen in Reeder (for Evernote creds). Keeps pulling it up when I try to save an article.

It USED to work, then worked periodically, and now not at all! Only bought Reeder after seeing Evernote saves enabled, so very frustrated. Developer is quite incognito.

Any recommendations/solutions? (I do NOT crash, however.)

Yes, we know about it and think it’s great – we’ll be posting about it soon. The difference is Reeder allows you to be selective, while ifttt send everything to Evernote. They have very different uses. ifttt makes more sense for sites like Craigslist, Foursquare, and Twitter vs. blogs.

FWIW, I bought the Mac version and I do like it. It works much, much better than any free RSS clients I’ve used.

@Rickles, You’re in luck! While there is no specific app for Windows or Linux, there is a website that has a fantastic tool that’s creating quite a buzz in Google+ circles through tech writer Mike Elgan.

It’s called [ifttt] (If This, Then That). So there are tools that allow one to make a “recipe” to combine the elements you need to get the information you need and put it where you want it. This is a sample of an RSS to Evernote recipe that someone made to get #Korea feeds into Evernote: http://ifttt.com/recipes/3937

The brilliant thing is it is SO easy to make your own recipe. And it works flawlessly. Most importantly… it’s FREE and works anywhere with anything!

Not only is this a solution to your needs, but open a whole lot of other possibilities for you.

I use iReadG on my iPhone because it caches articles and pictures so you can read them offline, e.g. on a plane or in the subway, which is where I do most of my reading on my phone. Very stable app with tons of features, more than Reeder (which I used before), including of course sending articles to Evernote. And my computer is a PC.

Also, any benefits with Reeder for Mac over Chrome + the Clipper?

Any benefits over FeedlerPro? I have been using this for a while and it works great.

I agree. I’ve used Reeder daily for over a year and I can’t remember a single crash (even on a jailbroken phone). It’s worked flawlessly. They do need to rework their iPad app though, the controls are awkwardly placed for going to the next feed item.
