Feature Request: Add highlighting support for text #620

Describe the feature you'd like

Users are able to highlight certain snippets of text.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Hoarder users

Many articles are saved because they have some relevant/useful information. But more times than not, you want to recollect specific important piece of information from that article (e.g. key takeaways, a specific issue that author had faced from a list of issues). Highlight support in hoarder will really be a very useful feature for users to retrieve the most useful information very quickly. Especially useful for long-form text articles. Many Read it later apps make their living on this. Hoarder has the ability to take it to the next stage as it also captions text.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No. The closest feature is the powerful search that hoarder already has implemented. However, searching something still requires you to remember the correct words. I think the two features (search and highlight) will best work hand in hand. Let's say the search gets you to a couple of useful articles you have saved. And then the user has highlighted the most relevant text to them that they are now able to quickly retrieve.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?
