Issue
-
When some GIF/video posts take time to fully load in the , I would scroll down to next set of posts while I wait for previous videos to load. As a result, I cannot turn on Mark Read on Scroll because the slow loading posts have not been Read.
-
Upvoting/Downvoting marks posts as Read.
-
If I want to hide some posts, I use the Gesture to Hide posts.
-
If I hide a post by mistake, using the Reset Hidden Posts option deletes the history of Hidden posts but keeps the history of Read posts.
-
After reading the incorrectly hidden post, if I Hide Read Posts again, only the Read posts are hidden. The previously Hidden posts have been reset are not hidden at this point.
-
As a result, in order to retrieve one post marked hidden by mistake, we end up unhiding all the other Hidden posts.
Solution
Provide a Gesture to Mark Posts as Read.
-
This gesture can then be used instead of the Gesture to Hide posts.
-
When Resetting Hidden Posts, the history of Read posts will be preserved.
-
When using the button to Hide Read posts again, all Read posts will be correctly hidden instead of losing the Hidden posts history.
Provide an option to Mark Hidden Posts as Read.
