I think so, yes. The thing is that HN posts are not necessarily in chronological order, plus they are referenced in multiple sections (new, top, show...). So without it, it is very hard, if not impossible, to track what's new for the daily reader. Posts I do care about, I open, posts I don't care about, I scroll past. In both cases, I don't really want to see them again. So, a personal auto-mark-as-read is absolutely essential. Thanks.

Got it, I will add a setting to hide or just dim read posts and the read posts will be permanent (instead of erased on restart). Thanks again for the feedback
