fix: indexing and autoread retoggle

Mark Read

Indexing For AutoRead

Misc

I didn't notice this first time around but page down is actually f/pgdn page down. Switched to F as it's annoying if you favorite and it moves your screen.

Added demo gifs for convenience but feel free to pull and check out flow to see if anything is off. Second part of #113 will have to come in separate pr.

looks awesome! :3

Found a issue with navigating reverse with autoread and resolved that. There's still two slight navigation quirks that may be fine ::

prev with autoread just brings next item (index) ::

Quit after marking last index as read looses cursor currently ::

[coolsloth55]

Would it be reasonable to ignore trying to mark un-read within post after it was just done so? If not navigation might have to be switched to work by skipping over posts if show read isn't turned on. Alternatively maybe keep a backup so it could be re-added to list.

For example currently if autoread is on or mark read manually each post essentially drops from navigation list when using l/h.

@coolsloth55 sorry I don't think I understand what you mean

while inside of post, if you mark it as read and then immediately as unread — the possibly problematic / annoying to implement part (right?)

if read posts are hidden, you suggest to skip over posts — not sure which posts you mean to skip

the last sentence I don't get also

Design decision, there's no indication currently when viewing the post whether it's been read. Similar to #112 you might unknowingly un-read a post. A navigation side affect is a follows since you can only mark read currently and not undo ::

launch nom
don't show read
view item-2
mark item-2 as read
can only navigate to prev (item-1) or next (item-3)
can't navigate back to item-2

If item-2 is read do we want allow undoing read in post view?

ohhhhh I see! yeah, now that you mention it, it is a bit missing ux to not know whether the opened post is marked as read or not
I didn't realize it, but now I would love to have some sort of marker

having the marker will solve the ambiguity, but it then implies being able to undo it. it's not necessary, but would be surprising behavior if you see a toggle, and can only toggle it to one side

Might be easy to prefix/postfix post title with something like ✓ - <title>. Definitely not glamorous but a clear indication.

Toggle definitely make sense then especially since it's "manual" and matches list view read.

[Axlefublr]

yes! I like the idea of a prefix, (probably) easy to implement and does the job
I like that checkmark symbol, too

I'm using this now and WOW, what a pleasure! this RSS reader was already way better than any alternatives I found, but thanks to both of you it has become even more top tier. phenomenal!!
