Mark Unread Action for Discussions

[askvortsov1]

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I wake up in the morning, I read through posts https://discuss.flarum.org/ that happened since the previous evening. Some are actionable, some are not. Being able to mark the actionable ones as unread would be very useful for not forgetting to reply / take action where necessary

Describe the solution you'd like Option 1:

• A "Mark as Unread" button on the discussion controls that would completely unread the discussion. This is simpler, but not particularly helpful because it doesn't control when it was unread

Option 2:

• A "Mark as Unread" button on posts that would set the discussion's read at time to several seconds before the provided post number.

Both of these can be accomplished without changes to the backend, since we could just send the applicable post number to the read discussion handler.

Either way, when a discussion/post is marked as unread, an attr on app.current should be set so that further scrolling on the discussion won't change read status.

Edit: fixed typo

without changes to the frontend

I guess you mean to the backend?
