Hi,
I wonder if you'd consider the following feature request.
Right now if you scroll page by page with space bar, when you encounter the end of the item your last space bar press means that the text scrolls an arbitrary amount of lines and you have to find where you were with your reading.
In Eudora (yes, I'm old) they added a nice feature:
When you scroll pages by keyboard, they add virtual lines so your last page down request will still scroll the text up so the last line of the previous page becomes the first line of the page. The next time you press space bar you go to the next post.
As it is now, the text sometimes scrolls just two lines and I get totally lost for a moment.
I don't know how hard this would be, considering you rely on WebKit for the rendering, but it would make me very happy, and would improve the experience of a lot of users.

| Tricky. Not necessarily possible (or, not necessarily possible in a way that doesn't totally bite.) But I see what you're seeing and how it could be useful.

I’ve had a crack at distinguishing between kinds of scroll with JavaScript embedded in the loaded stylesheet without any luck. There doesn’t seem to be a way of distinguishing between a spacebar scroll or a scroll-bar scroll.
The other thought I had was some kind of time delayed marker highlighting the recent position of the bottom of the viewport. A project for another day perhaps...
