[feat] a quick way to mark as read #311

Closed huyz closed 12 months ago

huyz commented 1 year ago

Perhaps swiping left on a story? Tapping in and going out is too slow, especially if we just want to mark as read because we're just not interested in that story

Hi, @huyz, have you tried this setting?

huyz commented 1 year ago

Yes I have, but it's not my cup of tea. I prefer taking actions to signify that I've read something. I've done the same with Gmail, Feedly, Usenet, etc.

Livinglist commented 1 year ago

@huyz can you show me some screenshots or recordings of the UX you are looking for? I tried to find such settings in Gmail app but didn't find anything.

Maybe like Harmonic app . Long tapping and the option appears

huyz commented 12 months ago

I made a few screen captures. Will post soon. Just busy right now

Here is how to change the settings in Gmail:

And here is how swiping looks in Gmail:

Here is how to change the settings in Apple Mail:

And here is how swiping looks in Apple Mail:

Note that above Apple Mail is more flexible than Gmail as it supports two swipe actions:

  1. Swipe gently and then press the button you want
  2. Swipe completely for a shortcut to the main button

If you didn't catch the difference, here's another clip:

Btw, ideally what I would like to have is an Archive action in addition to a Read action. If I had an Archive action, then my feature request would actually not be for a "quick way to mark as read"—it would be for a "quick way to archive". But I understand that you may not want to complicate the UI and add even more states (and unlike with email, it's not that critical that a newsreader distinguish between reading and archiving).

Thanks for considering. Great job on all UI btw. You've implemented a lot of complex features but managed to keep the UI simple.
