Some readers on http://refactorcamp.org mastodon flagged an interesting but difficult UI problem with my blogchains format. They’d like to be able to follow along like Netflix, picking up where they last left off. If they’ve only read 7/10 parts, part 8 should be their view.
The UI is push though as in when you open up the reader it autofetches all new stuff. You don’t have to take an action like visiting the site or pushing an update button. Like email that way. Inbox UI

OK, I guess I’m confused then. Either “when you open up the reader” counts as “taking an action”, OR *everything* is “push”, including streaming TV. But I think your definition of push might depend on whether you’re the type who leaves their email client open all the time.

I am probably guilty of mixing up technical backend notions of push/pull andsofter UX notions, so hope idea is clear even if terminology is off
