Sync page position

Hi

I am not sure if this issue possible but it would be neat if we could sync the current reading location of an article across devices.

thanks

Sounds like a nice feature. But is it easy to compare the scrolling position of the displayed text on a e.g. a smartphone to a notebook display?

@Strubbl

Maybe floating point based page position percentage might work?

Basic floating point values do not even give accurate results when screen orientation changes in Android app (because of text and images reflow). But these are still not bad results.

As a first step, it would be nice if reading progress is saved in a way so it's not overwritten if I do a "full sync" (or should I rather file this as a separate bug?)

"Full sync" is inherently destructive for data that is not synchronized. So synchronizing the reading position will make the "full sync" problem nonexistent. I don't think it's worth fixing it on its own since it's extra work and "full sync" is kind of a "last resort" function for when "fast sync" with "article sweeping" is not enough. Anyway, if you really want to get it fixed for some reason, a separate issue is due.
