Navigation shortcut to return to video

[leitdeux]

I recently re-subscribed to Point-Free and have been catching up on older episodes, and I noticed that it can be a little tedious to scroll down the main page every time to locate the video I was watching the day before.

Considering that, It might be convenient to have a "Resume / Continue Video" button that is displayed in the site navigation bar for users who were previously watched a video in their last visit to the site (perhaps with the condition that the button would display only if the video in question has not been played to the very end).

Ran into the same issue today. The find feature in the browser works as a stop gap, but a basic "pick up where you left off" feature would be very nice to have.

I had a similar idea now that videos are being marked as "Watched". It would be great to have a URL such as pointfree.co/continue (feel free to bikeshed) that will load the most recently watched video, or the next one if the video is "watched"

Hi @jayrhynas, you caught us at a good time. We just happen to be adding some features to the site, and this one turned out to be pretty easy. We'll be doing a release next week with pointfree.co/resume supported. We'll think about ways later of adding UI to show this off, but hopefully the URL is good enough for now. 🙂

Perfect! Now I can update my pointfree bookmark. Thanks!

The URL is now up http://pointfree.co/resume. Let us know if you have any feedback.
