Originally, the idea came from my desire to receive a notification when another user responds to a post where I've already written a comment. I am often very interested in knowing what other users have to say about the topic I commented on.
Great minds think alike 😉
I think that the idea is good for people to revisit posts and I was thinking of doing something along those lines for my front-end with a few differences…
Since I don’t know who’s logged in, I don’t want a manual selection (because somebody else could change it) so my thinking was to analyse every post that the user’s commented on (active comments). Then check the root post and see if any comments have been added since that date-time. The user can reset their timestamp (i.e. mark as viewed) by upvoting any comment.
// ignore paragraph
It’d be great if there was some way of expanding your idea to do similar - like a message board would highlight posts that have changed since your last visit. Having reread your post, I see you’ve thought of that with a notification
// End ignore
Sounds good ;-))
Hm, I think bookmarks only work without a login if you use cookies.
But, I'm not quite sure how you want to implement this if you don't know who wants to request the posts.
You can of course retrieve all active comments since a certain timestamp (which is stored in a cookie), but then what? Which posts do you analyse then?
Right, this was the first intention. And I think I could improve the bookmarks later with notifications of new comments on posts, that have been bookmarked. But that's still a long way off...

I think that your solution works, is simple and consistent with how other functionality works on the platform - it gets my vote 😊
For mine, I’m avoiding any data storage for the time being (whether that’s a database or cookies) The way I was planning to implement it was in conjunction with a “user dashboard” so you enter your username, the system then retrieves all of the posts that you’ve commented on (active comments only so 7 days) and when you last interacted with it (through a comment or vote). Since I’ve retrieved the posts, I can then scan them for new comments since the last interaction. If you want to reset a post (mark it as viewed) then a 1% vote somewhere would suffice.
All automated, no storage.
What do you think?

Ah, that was the crucial hint :-)
Then you know whose data you need to retrieve and check.
I just can't really imagine the reset yet, as I also want to vote without resetting the "counter" at the same time.
Apart from that, it sounds like a lot of work and an interesting result :-)

This is definitely the compromise with this approach. You’d have to “clear the post”.
I’ve been thinking a lot about a dashboard - acting as an incentive to start your Steemit day on my interface. I need to create something for things to start to make sense!

How was about the great minds!? ;-))
I agree that a dashboard would be a perfect start to look around. I've also thought about it, but haven't got beyond a rough layout yet.
A starting point is important. Do that!

Same - none of my ideas piece together quite right just yet - and now I’ve decided upon a new distraction!
