Title:
Link to other days from /read?date=YYYY-MM-DD

Area:
reading page, paid features

Summary:
Link to the previous and next day when viewing the reading page by date.

Description:
When viewing the reading page by date, at least in my style, there are only ?skip= links, and not links to the previous and next dates. It would make for a more intuitive use of this feature if these links were available.

One could have these in two ways.

1) Link to date only when there is no ?skip going in the indicated direction. For example, on /read?date=2020-01-01, a link to /read?skip=20&date=2010-01-01 (previous) and /read?date=2010-01-02 (next), and only link to 2009-12-31 once there is no more previous for 2010-01-01.

2) Link to previous and next date in addition to the ?skip= links.


If you have a preference on which of these should be done, please say so in comments.

This would also be very handy.

To clarify, I'm for implementing it as in #1. #2 would be too confusing in my opinion.

implementation #1, as a logical extension to your other suggestion. Otherwise, it's "agh! The links are spawning!"

[foxfirefey]

I think I am for number 1.

I like #2, actually.
