Greetings and welcome to the Community @user9895 👋
Thank you so much for adding your idea to the Wishlist! We actually have such an idea in mind: [Reading Progress - embed a progress bar widget to your website! (2024)](https://elfsight.com/reading-progress-widget/).
However, it would be great if you could share your vision on this app. What types of data or information will the Progress Bar be displaying or tracking? How do you envision users interacting with the Progress Bar? What specific use case or functionality are you hoping to achieve with this app?

I’m looking to show someone’s progress going through some steps. Something like this would be excellent.
