I'd like there to be recently viewed articles section on mediawiki (not sure what extension this would go in, or would it be a separate extension)?
There are often pages I read on mobile so syncing with mobile history would be AWESOME. Sometimes I read an article on mobile and want to make an edit but it's too difficult, so I'd be nice to sync so I could be reminded that I viewed the article and edit it later on desktop.

@Mvolz the idea is quite interesting, since this is related to mobile, I'm adding @dr0ptp4kt to see if this fits for an internship project. Feel free to add others who could add to it and help elaborate it.
@Mvolz, is this different than using the watchlist on <lang>.<project>.org and <lang>.m.<project>.org?
By the way, I see "app" in the subject, so I gather as much, but your confirmation would be most appreciated.
This is for viewed pages, so it would be passively collected from logged-in
users. Although implementation-wise a lot of the storage of the info could
be copied from watchlist :).
@Mvolz, I gather the user would opt-in to this through preferences?
Also, to clarify, are you talking about a user who first uses the native app while logged in (e.g. Android app on Google Play / iOS app on App Store) and then later is logged in on the desktop website? Or are you talking strictly about mobile web browsing and desktop web browsing?
Not sure- but that would be safer I suppose. On mobile it is default on I think.

Syncing with native app and all logged in browsing from web (mobile and desktop) would be ideal.
Thanks, @Mvolz. Looping in product owners (web = @ovasileva, Android = @Dbrant, iOS = @JMinor).
Presently, this is blocked by T128602: RFC: Backend for synchronized data from Wikipedia mobile apps. I'll update the task to reflect as much.
Removing the Possible-Tech-Projects tag as we are planning to kill it soon! This project does not seem to fit in the Outreach-Programs-Projects category in its current state, so I am not adding that tag right now!
