GitHub Issue Read Marker

Mark paragraphs of GitHub issues and pull requests with a check or a cross and attach private notes as you read.

Long GitHub issues and pull request discussions are easy to lose your place in — which parts have you read, and which ones did you want to push back on? GitHub Issue Read Marker lets you mark and annotate the description and every comment of issues and pull requests (Conversation tab), paragraph by paragraph. ■ Mark any paragraph with ✓ / × and a note Hover over a paragraph and a [✓] [×] [note] toolbar appears on its left. ・✓ — something you have read or verified ・× — something you want to push back on ・note — a comment about that spot, visible only in your own browser Press the same button again to remove the mark. Paragraphs, list items, headings, code blocks, table rows and collapsible summaries are all supported. ■ Draft a reply from your notes and ×s Choose "Compose a reply from notes and ×" from the right-click menu or the toolbar popup, and every marked spot is collected as a Markdown blockquote with your note underneath. Checkboxes let you pick what to include: spots with notes, × spots, ✓ spots. Lists keep their "-", code blocks keep their fences, and table rows are quoted "|"-separated, so the original shape of the text survives. The finished draft can be inserted straight into the comment box at the bottom of the page, or copied to your clipboard. ■ See how far you have read A badge at the bottom left shows how many paragraphs you have marked out of all paragraphs on the page. Click it to jump to the next paragraph without a mark. ■ Read with the keyboard alone Alt+Shift+J selects the next paragraph, Alt+Shift+C toggles ✓, Alt+Shift+X toggles ×, Alt+Shift+N writes a note (use Option instead of Alt on a Mac). Change any of them at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. ■ Your marks are saved Marks and notes are stored per page and restored the next time you open it. "Saved pages" lists every issue and pull request you have marked, newest first. Export to a JSON file and import it again to move your data to another computer. Delete a single page, or every page not updated for 90 days, when you no longer need them. ■ Languages The interface is available in English, Japanese and Romanian and follows your browser's language. ■ Privacy This extension never communicates with any external server. Your marks and notes stay inside your own browser (chrome.storage.local) and nobody — including the developer — can read them.
