Feedly Unread Count Badge by Folder

WHAT IT DOES

Feedly Unread Count Badge by Folder scans the current page for Feedly feed folders and their unread counts, extracting folder names, unread article counts, and feed items. The floating panel displays a folder-by-folder breakdown of unread counts, showing total unread per folder with color-coded visual indicators. Sort options include alphabetical order, by unread count (highest first), and by feed name. Filter to show only folders with unread items, track total unread across all folders, and highlight folders with the most unread content. One-click copy of the unread summary as formatted text is provided for quick reference.

WHERE IT RUNS

Works on any Feedly page, including the Feedly web app, feed reader dashboard, and folder views. The script intelligently detects folder elements using Feedly-specific selectors and can also fall back to general pattern matching on any page with folder-like navigation. It works best on Feedly.com and related Feedly platforms.

HOW TO USE

The panel displays statistics showing total folders, folders with unread items, maximum unread count, and average unread count. Click "Scan Feedly Page" to detect all folders and their unread counts. The folder list shows each folder with its unread count, color-coded based on volume (green = 0, gray = 1-10, yellow = 11-25, orange = 26-50, red = 51+). Click the 📌 button next to a folder to navigate to it in Feedly. Use the sort dropdown to reorder folders by name, unread count, or feed name. Toggle "Show empty folders" to hide or display folders with zero unread items. Copy the full summary to your clipboard with the "Copy Summary" button. Customize the highlight threshold to adjust when folders show as high-priority.

MECHANISM — FOLDER DETECTION WITH UNREAD COUNT EXTRACTION

The script uses a multi-strategy approach to detect Feedly folders and their unread counts. It first attempts to find folder containers using Feedly-specific CSS selectors (.folder, .navigation-folder, .collection, .feed-group). From each container, it extracts the folder name and unread count using targeted sub-selectors. If container-based detection fails, the script falls back to text pattern matching, scanning page content for elements containing unread count badges and their associated folder names. Each folder is assigned a unique ID for tracking, and unread counts are parsed as integers. The detection runs entirely client-side with no network calls, making it fast and privacy-preserving.

THE PANEL

The floating panel is fully draggable and remembers its position per domain. Click the minimize button to collapse it to a small bubble, or press Escape to hide it. The panel automatically adjusts to different screen sizes and can be resized to show more content. All settings, including sort order, display mode, and highlight threshold, are saved per domain. The panel integrates smoothly with any page layout using the BGPanel framework, maintaining clean separation from page content.

PLEASE NOTE

This script requires the free BotGentz extension to run. It does not send any data to external servers; all extracted folder data and settings remain entirely local to your browser using GM_setValue. The script never reads password fields, hidden inputs, or file inputs. It stores only folder names and unread counts from publicly visible Feedly page content. The script does not modify Feedly data; it only reads and displays what is already on the page. Data persists across browser sessions and is isolated per browser profile.
