We are looking for ideas for free AutoBlogged addons and have set up a new forum for suggesting and voting for ideas:

If you suggest an idea there and we implement it, we will give you either a free single-site license or a free upgrade from a single-site to a multi-site license.

To see our already completed addons, visit our GitHub repository here:

Note that if you are interested in writing your own addons or contributing to the ones we have written, let us know and we will add you to the project.

When looking at a list of feeds, like in the preview, it would be nice to be able to choose to manually add a story directly. Maybe it could show 'add, edit, publish' type options as well. Overall, I would like to see a cleaner interface. The feed viewer looks like it should be for troubleshooting, not previewing. I would really like to see a preview, perhaps not the full article, but the option to view the full article before any post action. To be more clear, I do not want to see the HTML and other tags, I want to see what it may post like. Displaying the tags is great, however, that should be an optional view, and not the default. Notification would also be nice. I may or may not want to add a post from a feed, I would like to be notified when a new feed comes in. For example, if I am following a few feeds, but one of the feeds has other posts from time to time that I do not want, I would like to be able to hold it in a queue, and get noticed for review for that particular feed. I can then go in, review the content, and make a decision to make draft, edit, etc. This way, I can publish it from the queue, or if I want to add my own comments first, I can edit. The other option is just to throw it to a draft to edit later, or just leave it in the queue. It may also be nice to be able to set up reminders for items that are left in queue. I don't know how great it would be, but perhaps on a preview pain the feed could be shared, and not published. I am not certain why that would be a great benefit, but maybe. I could see myself from time to time reviewing an article. The article may not be appropriate for the site I have, but I may still want to share it somewhere else. Anyway, those are a few ideas.

I don't know if this is a bug fix, but I am guessing it is not, so I am adding it to the requested features lost. I am a Mac, iPad, and iPhone user. I will mention just a sample field, the custome fields boxes, and some others, often extend outside of the frame. This does not prevent function, it is only a design issue. The issue occurs on all three devices. I blog from everywhere, whatever I happen to be carrying, this would be nice to have. The next item is a similar issue, but for me, it is a must have. On the iPhone or iPad, when adjusting the settings on a feed, the right panel is not accessible, that is to say, there's no way to add, or save any changes to feeds. The ability to add new, or modify feeds would be great to use on the go. I think, overall, a little better UX for the three Safari browsers. I am using the latest and greatest versions on all my Apple equipment.
