👋 Hi Product Hunt!
I'm excited to introduce FocusRead, a Chrome extension I built as a solo developer to make reading on the web faster and more comfortable.
Like many people, I spend hours reading documentation, blogs, research papers, and articles every day. I wanted a simple tool that improves reading speed without changing the original content.
✨ FocusRead includes:
⚡ Bionic Reading style
🎯 Adjustable bold intensity
📖 Custom reading fonts
🧠 Per-site memory
📊 Reading time estimation
📈 Scroll progress indicator
🌙 Sepia reading mode
⌨️ Keyboard shortcut
🔒 Privacy-first — everything runs locally
This is only version one, and I already have many new features planned based on community feedback.
I'd love to know:
• What feature would make your reading experience even better?
• What would you improve?
Thank you for checking out FocusRead and supporting independent makers! 🚀
