Hacker News Reader

Since it isn't mentioned this is inspired/based on https://bionic-reading.com/ (discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30787290). Note, although it has been granted patent only in France, the Bionic Reading name is registered trademark. A web extension was made soon after the link was posted and can be found in https://github.com/ahrm/chrome-fastread (Firefox vers: https://github.com/akay/firefox-fastread).

Oh god.

I know you're (presumably) not the author of the website, but if you're going to produce a method based on the theory of faster/easier reading, it helps to not have a landing page that has up front in big massive fonts a sentence that my mind parses as:

"Did you know that we humans store learned words and so just a few letters your brain reads faster are enough to recognise whole words. than your eye?"

How can one take it seriously when the very first example on the webpage fails on reading cognition!

When I first opened the submitted link I thought bionic reading was about overlapping sentences. They should just remove this section and instead use the first pic that showcases what they're doing.
