Scroll to top after clicking on an episode

This is a nice-to-have proposed improvement.

Now that the list of episodes is getting longer, the experience when clicking on an older episode is not great. Most users would do this with the intent of reading the shownotes for that episode, presumably from the start. However, when clicking on an older episode far down the list, the scroll position remains far down and the user has to scroll all the way back up by hand (see GIF below) #firstworldproblems.

Proposed solutions:

• Add a "scroll to top" button; and/or
• automatically scroll to top when a user clicks on an episode, and/or
• separate scrolling for episode list and shownotes

I would be keen to have a stab at implementing something for this, if you're keen to make a change here. If so, which solution would you prefer?

(Naturally, you are also most welcome to close this issue if you're not phased by this)

@simeydk yeah wouldn't be a bad improvement, I was thinking maybe having a fixed height for the list of episodes and info. This way when you click on a episode the info list would scroll independent from the episode list.

would be great :)

If nobody else is looking at this, I'd love to give this a shot :)

I offered to give it a stab before, but am not getting round to it, so happy to "give it up" (if I ever had it). The maintainers seem keen so I would think it's fine.

I just saw @legarland submitted a PR for this, #113 (a month before I opened the issue!)

I just noticed this as well, would be great!

Edit: Syntax is awesome! :heart:

This what you where thinking?

@jameygleason would you be able to scroll it to the top of <main />. That's where the player starts and I think that would be a better experience for users.

[legarland]

Check out my PR #113 to see if the experience fits this issue. I noticed this a while back and decided to add the smooth scrool functionality.

Yeah totally. Give me an hour or so.

@legarland looks good. I'm interested in knowing more about the polyfill.

Alright, I think I got it. Share your thoughts.

No longer an issue.
