Hi there. I don’t know if you guys ever discussed this on previous podcasts, but which rss reader each of you use? The reader I use is not really good for webcomics and it really annoys me that most webcomics don’t have a “save” function that let you pick up where you left off. The primary reason that I usually stop reading a particular webcomic is simply because it’s too much work to figure out where I stopped. Thanks and I love the podcast!
Thanks for writing, ggab! For my RSS needs, Feedly does a great job, though not necessarily in the way you’re needing. A few comics have added save and continue features into their archives, but not enough to make it a blanket solution (at least, not yet). The only comic I come back to at a later time is the one we’re currently looking at for Book Club episodes, otherwise I either keep up with it in RSS or I don’t.
I suppose if I knew I was going to leave something behind but return to it again someday, I might include a link to the last update I read in a Drive doc, so I’d have it to reference when I was ready to pick the story back up. That’s not a horrible idea, as I’ve tried to do so with many comics we’ve reviewed only to find I have no idea where I left off.
Thanks again for listening and let us know if you come across a better solution!
