Feature request: Along those lines, I was trying to find an article (using algolia) which discussed different names for AWS service names confusion and it was useless for that purpose (given search terms I tried). Since I always clear my browser history I couldn't see the links that I had visited.
A nice feature would be if there was a way to note which article links I clicked on or which comment threads I have visited. (If I comment then it's easy to find but I read more than I comment). That way I could just browse back that history and could have easily found that article that I was looking for.

- larrys 11y agoThanks for that. But for some reason both that and the save comments seems incomplete. Hard to believe those are all of the stories I upvoted I upvote everything I read typically and upvote (from memory) more comments then "saved comments" indicates. Also "saved" should be "upvoted".
- dang 11y agoWe don't track what article links users click on. It might be nice data to have if it helped us measure story quality, but it would also cross a privacy line that doesn't feel right to us, either as HN users or community members or moderators. I suppose we could save/serve which comment threads users have visited but that would be a lot of data, so I wonder if it wouldn't just replace one needle-in-haystack problem with another.
