This is exactly my setup as well and I'm a big fan. I would say the two areas of opportunity for improving Reeder's experience, in my case, would be to automate viewing articles in Mercury Reader instead of requiring a button press and to provide a better option on iOS for navigating to the next article from within the current one.

So, wouldn't the 7 people in this example essentially be the same metric as prior number of recommendations? It seems, if that's correct, they've simply added an additional data point somewhat akin to the volume or am I totally off the mark here?

This is such low-hanging fruit for journalists. Unfortunately, most companies feel that they have to pursue legal action against other companies that might even slightly be infringing on their trademark as they risk losing the trademark if they don't.

This all day. As many podcast listeners use Overcast frequently while driving, the more interaction required by the app the more frustrating the experience.

I imagine so. The function keys haven't gone anywhere, you simply press the fn key to display them.
