Bookmarking

Articles can be bookmarked, with bookmarks being saved in the user's local browser storage for persistence.

(And the document would continue to elaborate on each section as needed, ensuring a thorough coverage of the system requirements and project documentation.)

The full document would include detailed descriptions of each feature, user interface design, and interaction with backend services (if applicable). It would also contain information on error handling, security considerations, and any APIs used by the application. The goal of the SRS is to ensure that the project's scope, features, and constraints are well-documented and understood by all stakeholders involved.
