Suggestion: marking the last reading point

[ghost]

The add-on already allows to maintain the scroll position for each article between two reading sessions.

I think it would be even better if another option was added: marking the last reading point.

• text before the last reading point would be displayed in grey in future sessions
• when the user hits the "show answer" button (or ideally the "next" button (see issue #48)) but hasn't specified or changed the last reading point, a message would warn the user of this fact while making clear that the user can decide not to specify a last reading point (e.g. if the article has only been superficially read to assess his priority). In this case, hitting the "next" button a second time would move the user to the next article.
• when the last reading point and the last scroll position are conflicting, scroll to the last reading point.
• when there is no last reading point, keep the last scroll position as before.
• marking the last reading point should be fast. Double-clicking might work, or if it's easier to implement selecting the last read characters and using a shortcut (or a button, as always).

This procedure would be especially useful with large reading lists, when the intervals between successive reads of articles will be long enough to forget the last reading point and hesitate a few seconds before moving on.

Is the idea that the current scroll position might be accidental, and therefore not really where you had read up to? Can you describe the use-case a bit more?

My idea was that when you encounter an article again, you may wonder if you left it at the top of the current scroll position or at the bottom or somewhere in the middle, which may make you lose a few seconds. But this isn't a top-priority suggestion.
