Hey hunters! 👋 I'm excited to share Speed Reader with you today! I built this because I was tired of how much time I spend reading articles, docs, and PDFs every day. RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) has been studied for decades, but most implementations felt clunky or were stuck in the browser. I wanted something native, fast, and that lives wherever I'm working on my Mac. A few things I'm especially proud of: 🏝️ Notch Widget — turns your MacBook's notch into a tiny RSVP reader that floats above everything else 🔍 Built-in OCR — select any area of your screen (even inside apps with no text selection) and read it instantly 🌐 Read Any URL — paste a link and it strips out ads/clutter automatically 🍎 Truly native — no Electron, built with Apple's frameworks for speed and battery efficiency One more thing — RSVP has been genuinely helpful for people with central field loss or other vision-related reading difficulties. If that's you, email me and I'll give you a free license, no questions asked. Would love your feedback, feature requests, and of course — let me know how fast you can read! What's your WPM with traditional reading vs. RSVP? 🚀
