I use the app daily and really like it. I have two things I’d like to share:
I disabled any sync and Notification options but my Wakelock detector still shows me a lot of Wakeup triggers by the app. Even more than GMail. Is there any useful reason for that?
I would love a “Mark as read until here” button so I can mark all articles as read until my current scroll position.
Thank you very much

We still wake up regularly to see if you enabled anything. If all forms of background sync/checks are disabled, you should see the wakelocks only last a few milliseconds as they check, and they only fire opportunistically (that is, when the device is already awake or when the system runs a ton of background stuff in a big batch; if the device is sleeping it sometimes won’t bother checking for hours).
One burning question I have about this feature is, do you want the mark-to-here action to mark down to the top of the visible subset of stories or to the bottom?
The long press feature fits what I want exactly! Sorry for not noticing this feature, I will try it tomorrow.
If there was a “Mark as red until here” button I would expect it to mark all stories as read from where I started scrolling to the last one visible on screen. So mark to the bottom of the visible stories.
I noticed I already mentioned this on the #990 ticket, but I’d love to see a mark stories as read on scroll feature after we ship notifications. I find it indispensable on mobile, and I like *not* having it enabled on the web. I just read differently between devices.
Same question for you as posed above: how does this feature work? When is a story considered read - when the title reaches anywhere on the screen? When it hits some point on the screen? When it passes fully through the screen? Does scrolling back through the list un-mark?
