A WIP pager implementation for post listing in category view, because it
some lists have become quite long in RTC

This is a pretty makeshift proof-of-concept solution that doesn't use curses.

It is similar to the idea in the first comment of @asdf in #9

Anyways, I would love to hear what you think

hi @isti looks good, will be interesting to see your approach on this.

do you see this approach working on all pages or only category and category details? like would you split link details into multiple screens or just leave the user to scroll it?

what do you think of the length of the input prompt with the addition of page changing instructions?

Currently the link details screen rarely requires scrolling on RTC, as opposed to the other pages. I'm not sure, honestly.

However, if we implemented this form of paging for comments, a good question would be whether we want to "scroll just the comments" (i.e. re-print the post information before each page) or the whole page. I'm not sure.

That is something I'm concerned about as well, I just didn't bother for now, as this is currently just a proof-of-concept idea.
