I was 100% expecting you to bring up the progress bar. Here, the main content is usually way shorter than the comment section, and I often have to scroll down to see the end, then go back to the top.

If I find something interesting, I'll probably write about it. 😄
You can collapse comment threads. But yeah if you think progress bar is a better move, just add it to the Forem repo, they'll be happy to hear it. Have A Great Day!

If I can collapse the whole comment section by default, I can infer how much of the post I have read by looking at the scrollbar. That's why. I'll open an issue to add the progress bar when I get time 👍

Oh thankyou! I didn't notice it. But a progress bar would do the job without having to scroll down and collapse the comment threads.
Oh, we can't collapse the comment section as a whole?
Then maybe they should add that too...
Bro, what's the point of collapsing whole comment section?
Also, if you think this is genuinely needed, you can add it to the forem repo as an issue.

Oh! My bad. Bro, you should've said earlier that you wanted progress bar for the post. Also, that's why I said you should open an issue on forem repo.
No problem! 🙂
