Description

Stay focused for longer and spend less time reading. Ideal for students and people with a lot of reading to go through! ⚛️ It works just like using your finger on a physical book thanks to the scientifically designed word pacer that simulates the ideal eye movement 🤖 It slows down on hard, long, rare, and scientific words, ensuring you stay laser-focused. 📜 It scrolls automatically when you reach the bottom of the page, allowing you to get fully immersed in the text. Developed by 2 university students with ❤️ and 🍺 🔒 Privacy Notice: Everything happens locally! We're planning to add support for IPFS, so in the future you will be able to save your articles and preferences in a decentralized way. No data are collected, everything happens locally in your computer. Check out the code on GitHub (https://github.com/freadyapp/fready )

This is completely useless. It does nothing. I'm trying to read on the CompTIA CertMaster Learn site and when I click read it shows what I think is a table of contents for the class. It does not highlight the words on the page and pace my reading. This is such a disappointment.

Good idea. Terrible implementation. 1. You need to log in to your account every single day, even if using the extension 2. Articles get deleted after 30 days for non-paying users, without warning. How about stopping saving new articles instead of deleting the existing ones? What a terrible way of implementing a freemium business model 3. Buggy. My whole library of articles recently dissapeared 4. Fixes take ages to get implemented. The "daily login" bug has been reported end of January in another review and still persists

Doesn't work for me. Every time clicking on read button, it opens fready website, thanking me for the download. Done the pinning properly. Tried on couple of browsers. No problem on than part.

it Doesn't let me use the extension. It keeps on asking me to pin it. I am sorry but I have to rate it 1 star because it doesn't work.

Application error An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details. You can do this from the Heroku CLI with the command heroku logs --tail

It worked one time, and that was it.

I don't know why I can't go faster than 2000... It can't keep up and I find it very frustrating. Why the arbitrary limit? Let the user dictate the limit, not some arbitrary and totally meaningless constant value. Why 2000, why not 1834? 2369? 2800? 3402? The definition of a minute is as arbitrary as this constant limit.
