tech rambling 

One thing that irks me about how a lot of tech uses infinitely scrolling "timelines" and the such is that most apps don't keep track of your progress if you navigate away.

If I'm viewing something I probably want to keep going from where I left off unless I explicitly want to go to the top.

RSS readers, Google's podcast thing, Mastodon Web (twitter in general), etc.

At least browsers sometimes preserve the scroll for me if it's a full page navigation. 🤷

@mauve it can be implemented, but was often forgotten about in SPAs (react-router recently gained this functionality, for example, iirc)

@thisismissem Yeah! I've tried doing it for things in the past. Glad to hear react-router is taking it seriously, that should yield benefits to loads of apps without extra dev thought put into it. 🙇

@mauve in my experiance with the official native mobile app, and tusky. this is how it actually works which is nice. (Also no lag and random crashing! unlike twitter)

@mauve and Manyverse! It's endemic.
