Feature Request: Mark and hide all posts as read

I just can't bear aggregators without it any more. (for reddit you can do it with RES, for HN there is also a browser extension ("Hacker News: Mark All Read") )

The only problem: you miss out on some later discussions. For this the HN extension I use has a "follow comments" toggle inside the posts, which excludes those posts from being hidden.

It also totally fixes the problematic of balancing the "freshness" on the frontpage.

    It’s coming. As is being able to view old mark as read comments, etc... @deimos just has a lot on his plate right now since he is focusing on getting ready to opensource. Once that’s done, feature development will speed up. Remember, this is early alpha so a lot of the “basics” we are aware of needing and plan to add, they just aren’t implemented yet.

      Good to hear. And knowing no other aggregator doing this natively I think this is more than a "basic" and a great feature :)
