Remembering the last thing you already been shown and not presenting it anymore is what computers used to do, back in the 1970s.

(a third advantage to RSS: because local storage is dirt cheap, it's searchable — even the stuff I'd mark-all-as-read'ed)

Sounds OK until you've been shown something but haven't interacted with it, and then you want to see it again later.

Yup. My most frequently used feature of Android notification systems is notification history. Notifications somehow manage to be 90%+ noise, and so easy to dismiss that the important 10% I only spot as they disappear...
