Title:
Add "Mark as Read" action in article reader view + auto-read setting
Body:
## Feature Request
### 1. Mark as Read action in reader view
Currently, marking an article as "read" is only possible from the collection
list view. There is no way to mark it while reading the article itself.
**Requested UX options (either would be great):**
- Swipe gesture (e.g. swipe left/right) in the reader
- A button in the bottom toolbar of the reader
### 2. Auto-mark as read setting
Add an option in Settings to automatically mark an article as read when opened.
**Suggested setting:**
> ☑ Mark as read when article is opened
This would suit users who want a zero-friction "read = opened" workflow,
while keeping it opt-in for those who want manual control.
## Current behavior
Must exit the reader and go back to the collection list to mark as read.
## Why this matters
Both features reduce friction in the reading flow:
- Open → read → swipe to mark done (no context switching)
- Or: open = already counts as read (for power users)
## Platform
Android

私もこの機能欲しいです。Raindropの未来につながると判断いただければ、ぜひご検討ください

I think this would make a lot of sense to add for folks that use Raindrop as a Read Later type service. I'm currently doing this with separate "Read Later" and "Archive" collections since I found that a little easier to manage than using tags, but I'd like it better if this was an inherent status of the bookmark.
Ideally it would be something you could show or hide by collection, since most of my collections are just for reference rather than a reading queue.

when you try to search on google "how can I do this" and finding that it's actually on a wishlist... Not bad, not good.

Perhaps this could be achieved with "Archive bookmarks" feature (currently in the "Planned" stage)

Coming from Pocket this is a killer feature I'm already missing

+1 for a "read" mark on the records. Also a filter that wont show read items would be nice too. I dont wanna see already read items in the list by default, but would be nice to see them with a single click if needed.

A list of articles you want to read next. An "add to reading list" button for each bookmark. Drag and drop re-arrangement of the list and indicators of which item has already been read.

Read / Unread as filters

Sometimes people organize articles before reading them. They'll add a tag and folder when saving the article.
But finding that important unread article can be difficult sometimes.
Read / Unread would solve this. They should't be folders, but filters you can place on top like Unsorted.
Ideally an article would have a checkmark that you can tick when it's read.

Why not use a tag? I have #todo/read and #done/read and can filter every collection for bookmarks that are read / not read.

lilja-sajin777 i've been doing that but the problem for me (and maybe I'm doing it wrong) it shows the filter results for nested folders as well

And even after marking them as viewed, the cards could change color, say, turning green. That way, when looking at the collection, you could easily tell which ones have been watched and which ones haven't yet.
