Description

Having previously visited stories marked as read would be nice. Maybe a symbol or even through text decoration should do it.

Research direction
The issue requests a feature to visually mark visited stories in the HN CLI. To implement, you would need to modify the story display logic and persist visited state, perhaps using a local file or in memory storage. Examine the main command file (likely `bin/hn` or `index.js`) for how stories are listed and consider using a simple JSON file to store visited IDs. Review the existing comments for any suggestions or discussions about implementation. The maintainer has not provided specific guidance, so you should propose a solution and get feedback before coding.
