+# NIP-85
+
+## Reading Progress
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+This NIP defines kind `39802`, a parameterized replaceable event for tracking reading progress across articles and web content.
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+* [Format](#format)
+  * [Tags](#tags)
+  * [Content](#content)
+* [Examples](#examples)
+
+## Format
+
+Reading progress events use NIP-33 parameterized replaceable semantics. The `d` tag serves as the unique identifier per author and target content.
+
+### Tags
+
+Events SHOULD tag the source of the reading progress, whether nostr-native or not. `a` tags should be used for nostr events and `r` tags for URLs.
+
+When tagging a URL, clients generating these events SHOULD do a best effort of cleaning the URL from trackers or obvious non-useful information from the query string.
+
+- `d` (required): Unique identifier for the target content
+  - For Nostr articles: `30023:<pubkey>:<identifier>` (matching the article's coordinate)
+  - For external URLs: `url:<base64url-encoded-url>`
+- `a` (optional but recommended for Nostr articles): Article coordinate `30023:<pubkey>:<identifier>`
+- `r` (optional but recommended for URLs): Raw URL of the external content
+
+### Content
+
+The content is a JSON object with the following fields:
+
+- `progress` (required): Number between 0 and 1 representing reading progress (0 = not started, 1 = completed)
+- `loc` (optional): Number representing a location marker (e.g., pixel scroll position, page number, etc.)
+- `ts` (optional): Unix timestamp (seconds) when the progress was recorded
+- `ver` (optional): Schema version string
+
+The latest event by `created_at` per (`pubkey`, `d`) pair is authoritative (NIP-33 semantics).
+
+Clients SHOULD implement rate limiting to avoid excessive relay traffic (debounce writes, only save significant changes).
+
+## Examples
+
+### Nostr Article
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 39802,
+  "pubkey": "<user-pubkey>",
+  "created_at": 1734635012,
+  "content": "{\"progress\":0.66,\"loc\":1432,\"ts\":1734635012,\"ver\":\"1\"}",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "30023:<author-pubkey>:<article-identifier>"],
+    ["a", "30023:<author-pubkey>:<article-identifier>"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### External URL
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 39802,
+  "pubkey": "<user-pubkey>",
+  "created_at": 1734635999,
+  "content": "{\"progress\":1,\"ts\":1734635999,\"ver\":\"1\"}",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "url:aHR0cHM6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbS9wb3N0"],
+    ["r", "https://example.com/post"]
