fReading

A minimalist speed reading tool to help me get through text faster. Just copy plain text, drop in there, and bang, beauty. Built with vanilla JavaScript.

Features

• Variable reading speed: Adjust words per minute (WPM).
• Keyboard shortcuts:
  • Shift + + to speed up
  • Shift + - to slow down
• Highlights the first or middle letter of each word for better focus.
• Play/pause/reset controls for easy navigation.

Why?

I wanted a simple tool to help me read faster without the bloat of existing speed reading apps. This does exactly what I need and nothing more. Speed and simplicity were really the key factors, might add some QoL features later down the line.

Usage

1. Paste your text.
2. Set your desired WPM (words per minute).
3. Choose the letter highlight preference (first or middle letter).
4. WE'RE ADDING A LIBRARY of prepared texts, still work in progress though
5. Hit start and adjust speed on the fly with keyboard shortcuts, will add dynamic changes with mouse clicks, gotta be better.

That's it! Happy speed reading 🚀
