Scrroll In Extension

✨ What's new -
- You can now save upto 20 scroll positions for any page and manage (get, update and delete) them individually.
- Added an opt-in to show toasts when performing actions with a scrroll for better UX (Experimental).

You must have been in a situation wherein you are reading a long article but you don't have enough time to finish it so you close the tab, and the next time you open the article again, you have no idea where you left it.

Well not anymore, with this extension you can save the scroll position of the page and then revisit the page at any time to continue where you left.

I know that there are other extensions similar to this, but most of them either don't work reliably or lack the features mentioned below -

🤹 Color changing icon
The icon changes color whenever the extension detects that you have already saved a scroll position for a page.

✨ Sleek UI
Ability to add, remove, update or delete the scroll position directly from the popup menu.

💾 Unlimited Storage
Under the hood this extension uses chrome's local storage API, so you'll never run out of storage for your articles.

🤳 View all your saved scrrolls
An options page to view all your saved pages, with the percentage of the page completed.

📜 Completely free and open source
Scrroll In was and will always be free to use and open source. Feel free to open an issue for feature request or bug report on the issues page on Github

Tom Jackson (ID: 000000be7c3ccb8c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/14/2023 This plugin is very user-friendly and responsive, but there is one issue (or rather, a suggestion): there is no way to synchronize, meaning that when logged in on different devices, you can only see the locally saved settings and cannot access the settings from other computers.
