What it does

ChronoReader is a Chrome extension for focused, one-word-at-a-time reading. Read any article or passage at your own pace — one word at a time, centered on screen, anchored by a focal letter. 100% local, no account needed.

ChronoReader turns any article or passage into a focused reading session — one word at a time, centered on screen, anchored by a focal letter. Nothing leaves your device. ChronoReader shows each word at the center of your screen, one at a time, anchored by a focal letter. Instead of scanning lines and re-reading, your gaze follows a single stream — moving at the pace you set, from 100 to 1,000 words per minute. One word on screen at a time — nothing else competes for your attention. A focal letter holds every word in place, so your eyes never hunt for the next line. Commas breathe and periods rest, so long passages keep their pacing. Any article or passage on any page. Select the text and…from chronoreader.pages.dev

    I built a Chrome extension for speed reading using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation). One day I came across research on RSVP — a technology that allows you to read 2-3x faster without losing comprehension. That's how Speed Reader was born — a free Chrome extension that lets you read faster right in your browser. The main feature is automatic article parsing. Open any page, click one button, and the extension extracts the text, removing ads and clutter. It also highlights the ORP (Optimal Recognition Point) — the natural focus point in each word. Free, no ads, no data collection.…

    Pacer is a Chrome extension designed to help you read faster on the web. I created it out of frustration with alternatives that required copying and pasting text repeatedly. It’s based on a technique called RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation), where words are shown one at a time in quick succession to minimize the time spent reading. However, unlike traditional RSVP, the words in Pacer aren’t fixed in one place. It’s been helpful for me and several friends, and I’d love for you to try it as well. It's not perfect and there are things that are up for improvement but am sharing it here for…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
