Pending A new sort button

I think if would be awesome if there could be a new sort button that allowed you to sort in reverse order, from where you left off when you were last browsing Poal. That way you would come forward in time instead of going backwards. I really like to see as many posts as I can so that when I want to post stuff I am not re-posting stuff that was posted a few hours ago. If I could just pick up where I left off this morning before work I could scroll to the latest post and be all caught up. Also I like to up-vote people for good content and it is nice (IMO) to up-vote the original posts on stories. Not the guy who doesn't actually use Poal and doesn't realize that the three articles he posted today were already posted a couple times just an hour ago. (Not literally today, but I see this scenario frequently)

This can’t easily be done because of the infinite scroll. If you haven’t visited Poal for several days, it will have to retrieve hundreds of posts that will consume/waste a large amount of resources since it would be nonsensical to index/cache each user’s queries.

The purpose of /all/new is to list new posts from the newest to the oldest (25 posts per page or infinite scroll refresh). Socket.io is used to dynamically push new ones and update the amount of votes/comments

So you got this right?

:)

Maybe the feature can have a limit, like 18 or 24 hours?

I'll take a look at it and see if that can be something available for a few beta-testers only.

I had another idea that might work better. Maybe a button you click on a post that is like a bookmark, done with a cookie? Then at the menu at the top there could be a "return" button that would take you back to that post and you could scroll forward from there? Whenever you click the bookmark button it would reset to that post and forget the last. Just spit balling, I don't do this work but I thought I would throw that out there.
