I actually had it working with the Facebook news feed, commenting & liking in-line, but I was struggling to get the news feed to match exactly what you see on the website (their APIs don't provide an exact match), so I decided to pull that feature in this release. Let's see how this thread goes over the coming days, and if that emerges as the most popular "next feature" I'll work to get that back in.

Does the app need to be running to receive Hub notifications?
And on a related note, can I choose specific feeds/sources for notifications, or is it an all-on/all-off sort of thing?
Thanks for your great work. I will probably be buying the app either way, I'm a long time RSS Savvy user and it rocks.
Thanks!
Polling (and thus notifications) require you to leave the active frame running. I do have signing permission for a headless app, but as that is only supported on OS 10.2.1 onwards - and the majority of my users are not - I decided to hold off on the headless integration for now. I will add that as the balance tips though.
Regarding notifications, you create rules to determine what you will get notifications for (swipe down from top and select Options). You can choose specific feeds, twitter friends or even just feeds containing keywords. For example, you could opt to just get notifications for feeds that mention your football team etc.
Thanks Mecca! Was there a particular feature you used in Social Feeds that you would like to see added to FeedMinder?
You're welcome man. This app is beautiful. And additional feeds for pretty much what everyone has listed. If you can squeeze in Vine, that alone would put you above every other app. I'm already on 10.2.1.1055, and will surely be ahead in the future, if you need anyone to alpha/beta test for you. I don't mind trashing my Z and Q. They can take it. PM me if that's something you'd be interested in.

Thanks for the quick reply. Good to hear you have headless already planned . I'm buying now, keep up the great work!
Headless would be great. I'm on .1055 but this is one of my absolute go to apps so it is always running. I don't see the need for Feedly w/ all due respect to the other requests. Adding feeds is so easy and the suggested feeds and the total ease of browsing for new feeds have taken over much of my old Google Reader to Feedly stuff anyway. Nor do I see the need for Facebook or Foursquare. The BB10 hub already brings all those in beautifully. What we were missing was a full fledged RSS reader that allowed the "hub-prioritiy" notification that the rules allow. Now specific twitter accounts or specific tagged news items go to the hub - which is already bringing me my "close friend" facebook and asked for foursquare notifications. I can't think of another BB10 app that does in app display of items that other apps require a shift to the browser to display as well as this and the reader mode works great. Fluid and smooth!
I would like an export or backup option to be added! I have tried to copy a rss link a couple of times in the last few months and cannot even read the link...
