I Built a Chrome Extension That Remembers Where You Stopped Reading on Any Web Page

The Problem

You're reading a long article. Something interrupts you. You close the tab. When you come back, you have no idea where you were.

This happens to me multiple times a day.

What I Built

ReadMark — automatically remembers your reading position on any web page.

How It Works

  • Automatically saves your scroll position
  • Returns you to where you stopped
  • Works on any website
  • Visual indicator showing last position
  • All data stored locally

Building Philosophy

  1. Solve a tiny, specific problem
  2. Do one thing well — no feature bloat
  3. Local-only data — no privacy concerns
  4. Works immediately — install and forget

Sometimes the best tools are the ones you don't even notice using.
