Feature Request: remember reading progress when adding to omnivore #3411

Open fvgendt opened 9 months ago

fvgendt commented 9 months ago

Often I'm reading an article in my browser, and then I need to go and want to continue reading later. So, before I go I just add the articile to Omnivore. Then when I want to continue where I left off I open Omnivore, but I find that it hasn't picked up the progress that I already made in the browser. It would be neat if I could just continue reading in Omnivore from where I was left when I was reading in the browser.

As far as I know this feature is not yet supported, but I think it would be a great addition!

Ah interesting idea. I suppose its possible to get the top element at the time of save. It could cause a bit of confusion though as people would see lots of items with low read percentages.

I agree, but if it is possible to get the scroll bar position, a dirty but probably reasonable fix for this would be to only save the progress if the scroll bar is not entirely up.
