Quickify – EBooks/Web/RSS Android Reader Boosted by Speed-Reading Modes
Hey, HN. I am excited to present to you what my pet project has turned into after three years of development. One day, I decided to create the most convenient application for reading all my favorite articles, as well as RSS feeds from Hacker News and other sources. The usual reading approach was not enough for me, so I loaded this application with five different reading techniques that help to achieve maximum productivity and reading speed. 1. Text-to-speech is the most popular reading method among Quickify users. I'm using it when I'm busy or my eyes need a rest. This method is available in…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey, HN. I am excited to present to you what my pet project has turned into after three years of development. One day, I decided to create the most convenient application for reading all my favorite articles, as well as RSS feeds from Hacker News and other sources. The usual reading approach was not enough for me, so I loaded this application with five different reading techniques that help to achieve maximum productivity and reading speed. 1. Text-to-speech is the most popular reading method among Quickify users. I'm using it when I'm busy or my eyes need a rest. This method is available in many other applications, but trust me, I've optimized it to be the best among them all. 2. Speed-Reading, also known as RSVP or Spritz. This method is based on the fact that the speed of reading is limited by the speed of eye movement. By displaying one word at a time, you can read almost twice as fast with almost no training. 3. The Cursor reading method, with its moving cursor that highlights text at a preferred speed, is designed for enhanced focus and faster reading. It guides through the text, reducing distractions and the likelihood of skipping or re-reading lines. 4. The Bionic Reading method emphasizes the initial parts of words to speed up reading and comprehension. It helps the brain quickly process text with less cognitive effort, which is great for managing ADHD. 5. The traditional method of reading is still represented in the application, with all the usual tools such as highlights, notes, word translation, etc.

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
