@nix aware of that feature on Voyager but haven't really tried it. Once hidden, how do you go back to see it?

On Gmail, a similar concept would be "Archive" which is manual-hide regardless of read state, and can be seen again in "All Mail"

@cheeaun iirc theyre working on letting you hold the hide button to unhide the read posts. Currently you turn off hide read posts to bring them back.

On gmail you have to manually press archive on each post? Because on voyager every post is marked as read when you scroll by and then one tap on hide or refreshing the feed, hides all the read posts.

@nix hmm anything auto will need more consideration:

- if there's a new reply to a hidden post, will it get unhidden?
- if the timeline has auto-refresh every X seconds, will it get read and hidden every time?
- if turn off hide read post, the whole timeline will change, wont that lose the scroll position for unread posts?

Getting read states need to track scroll positions & post dimensions and store them somewhere, so I think it's quite an effort (props to Voyager dev!).

@cheeaun doesn’t have to be auto a manual button would be great too.

- reply would make it appear if its a reply from someone you follow like how a post appears on top of your timeline now if someone you follow replies to it

- I think manual hide button and refresh by pulling down at the top of your feed should be the only time it hides the posts

- if turned off reset timeline to the most recent post

knowing if we’ve caught up on all posts with this would be like Inbox Zero and RSS feeds :)

@nix 😄 that's quite a number of assumptions made there.

As of now, I'll slowly iterate. There's a lot of ideas; I would rather let other devs take this idea(s) further and make a standalone app 😬
