What is this about?
-------------------
Google Reader is a great product, I prefer it over all other feed aggregators,
but it is not perfect. It misses some features I want it to have, and some
existing features do not work the way I want them to work. Also it is rather
bloated and takes ages to load on gadgets. There's some room for adjustments
via user javascripts, but not enough.
This intends to be the ultimate google reader javascript, slick rewrite from
scratch. It doesn't aim to cover all features of its elder brother, however
it is much more suitable for most day-to-day tasks. Any time you need something
not implemented here, there's a handy link to switch to full-featured interface.
Another aim is to be flexible and customizable for everyone who knows a bit of
javascript. I do not want to make this bloated victim of creeping featuristis,
thus feel free to fork the repo and roll your own.

Misfeatures
-----------
Sorry folks, do these yourself if you need them, it's easy anyway.

 * same is for initial view: it's "unread entries" now (1 word to change)
 * expanded view only 
 * no subscriptions list
 * mark as read on scrolling past view
Hotkeys
-------
j/k - next/previous entry
s - star entry
shift+s - share entry
v/shift+v - open main link of current entry in background/foreground
c/shift+c - open first link in current entry in background/foreground
spacebar - go to next entry / next page of same entry / next large image
r/shift+r - reload/forced reload
w/e - show unread/starred entries
u/i - show unread/starred entries
o - show shared entries
Compatibility
-------------
Works nice in Opera. Chrome has some hotkeys issues. Firefox's Greasemonkey
required lots of patching, but was defeated. Works in Nokia n810 (Maemo)
browser, but you might need unicode fonts for button images.

FAQ
---
Q: What's "TagW"?
A: That's my shortcut for adding tag "W". Edit it as you need or remove it.
Q: I'm using Opera and links are opened in foreground, how do I fix that?
A: Activate option opera:config#UserPrefs|Allowscripttolowerwindow.
Q: On which URLs does script work?
A: By default it works exactly on:
    * https://www.google.com/reader/view/
    * https://www.google.com/reader/view/1
   Adding *any* other character switches script off, thus on
      https://www.google.com/reader/view/#
   you will see standard interface of Google Reader. You can get there by
   clicking "Normal view" link in top right corner of the screen, and get back
   by clicking Google Reader logo.
Q: Page at https://www.google.com/reader/view/ takes too long to load, how can I
   speed it up?
A: That page contains lots of user data, which slows page down. You can use same
   interface on page https://www.google.com/reader/view/1, which loads in a
   blink of eye. The only downside is that you'd have to copy your `userId` from
   popup dialog to userscript.
