Add Paginate Option for Accessibility

Long lists in NXT use Infinite Scroll to dynamically load additional items. This is a mobile-based feature that is common throughout the web, but I find that it is a major accessibility issue. When I am on a long list, I often accidentally over scroll and have to wait for the new data to load before I can interact with anything, and if I accidentally tap a link and move to a new page (say, accidentally tapping on a fundraiser name in the work center), I have to go back and re-scroll to find my place.

I understand that pagination isn't popular for dynamic systems because if the underlying query changes, the pagination may change as well - but honestly it doesn't have to be the hard-coded URL pages, just something "sticky" so that tapping the back button gets me in the vicinity of where I was.

 

(I have described this as a problem with my tablet, but it's also frustrating on my desktop - it's just a lot faster to scroll there.)

    On a computer, I've gotten in the habit of Ctrl+Click to open the link in a new tab for this reason.  But that doesn't work on the phone (or at least I don't know how to do it).
