Mark post as read
What I really miss in all Mastodon clients is a feature to mark a post as read. I really don't like to see read posts or is there anyone who is keeping their old and useless emails, just to go through them the next day, which are mixed with new ones?
It somehow doesn't make sense to me...
Unfortunately this isn't a part of the API for Mastodon, so the client would have to keep its own record of read posts. You can via the API request toots that's newer than the last time, but that's not exactly the same that you're requesting.
I will look at it someday and see if I find a good solution :)
I didn't go through tuts code yet, but if I could recommend a solution, I would say this feature could be separated from the "normal" tut.
There is a record of all incoming posts and if they were marked as read (shortkey m) a flag will be set (marked_read=true) and the tut config could have an option like show_read_posts=true as default to not interfere with existing users workflow who may not like this feature.
