More specifically on iOS, but I guess in general.
Is the highlighting feature ever coming to mobile? Such a handy feature, but a shame that it can only be done in desktop.

I was waiting for somebody to ask! If anything else wants to see this, please respond here. I’d love to build it, I just want to know that it’s wanted.
Count me among the customers who would really appreciate this feature. Right now, I tend to get halfway through an article before realizing that it is worth highlighting, which prompts me to add it to Instapaper so that I can highlight it. It would be great to have this built-in to the NewsBlur Android app so I don’t have to bounce between apps.

I would also be interested in this feature!
Just to add to this, as of now whilst on my iPad I have to open NB articles in an external read-it-later app in order to make highlights. Since the process of highlighting is really ingrained in my overall reading experience I end up consuming the majority of my articles in that app rather than in NB, which is a shame because I much prefer NB’s reading experience. So in that sense NB has become a “mere” aggregator on my iPad and much less of an all-round app.
Ok I’ve prioritized this feature but it may take a little bit of time to launch as it was crazy complicated to do well on the web. It’ll be easier now that it’s written.

Any chance of bringing highlights and notes to the Android app, too? The ticket seems to be specific to iOS devices.
I know, I wanted this too now, since i just tried to highlight and wasn’t able to on mobile. It’ll come after some story list updates we’re working on.
