Oh okay, didn't notice it! Yeah, maybe the discoverability.

After reading a bit longer, I have one more nit on the auto mode. I expected a single tap to take me out of the auto mode. Again, awesome work!

This is great! I was avoiding justify because it never looks good on web.

Nice!

Intuitively, i thought there would be a toggle to play, and that I would be able to maybe pause by holding, and then scrubbing up/down (or left/right).

But great work! Will try on a longer text.

Great idea, great execution! Took me a while, but I got used to controls. The only small annoyance i had was the “saved” notification popping up making me miss a few words. Would love a “zen” mode with no UI other than the text.
