Open chapters exactly where you left off!

Open sokkycat opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

Describe your suggested feature

When you click in on a novel, and then proceed to click "Continue Reading chapter X" it should open the chapter with the same progress procentage/scroll length as when you left off, aka opening where you actually left off instead of on the start of the chapter.

This behaviour already exist in the form of the history tab, i can access the last chapter i read there, and it opens on the exact scroll position.

I simply see no reason for this behaviour to not also be in the normal continue reading button. As someone who reads in the short moments where i can, i often leave off in the middle of a chapter. If i want to go back to where i left off i have to check before i leave and then remember the exact procentage i left off at, and then scroll down there. The other method is to use the history tab, but this makes the actual continue reading button useless and defunct.

Even if people might have preferences otherwhise, it should at the very least be an option to make the continue reading button work like this.

Other details

Considering this behaviour already exists in the history tab it should be an easy fix, right?

Would also really like this.

Bumping this since I'd assume it's a rather simple feature to add that would improve QoL by a lot.
