Adds a button to Feedly that marks items above the current item "as read".
NOTICE: If you can no longer see the "mark previous read" button, it may be due to Feedly's deployment of their new React-based rendering engine. To restore the button, you must revert back to the old Miro-based rendering engine. To do this, go to Preferences > General > Rendering engine, and select "Old Miro-based rendering engine (deprecated)".
This script adds a button labeled mark previous read to Feedly. When clicked, all items above the currently selected one are marked as "read". If no item is selected and the list contains at least one "read" item, then all items above the lowest "read" item will be marked as "read".
The button added by this script provides functionality similar to the Mark previous as read operation that could be invoked after long-pressing an item in the official (but now defunct) Google Reader app for the Android platform. That is, the items above the current selection are marked "as read", regardless of whether the list is sorted by newest or by oldest. Therefore, this functionality is intended for users who read their feeds top-to-bottom, sorted oldest-to-newest.
The screenshot above shows the new button's placement in Feedly.
IMPORTANT:
- After installing this script, you must refresh your Feedly page in your browser (not in Feedly) to see the new button.
- Currently, only the Title Only view of Feedly is supported.
NOTES:
To make the selected item collapse automatically after clicking the mark previous read button, edit the script and set COLLAPSE_SELECTED_ITEM to true, as follows:var COLLAPSE_SELECTED_ITEM = true;
