<strong>Why I built this</strong>
I've always struggled with reading. Whenever I faced a wall of text, I'd instinctively reach for audios, videos, or anything visual instead. Traditional fonts just felt heavy and exhausting to concentrate on. Discovering dyslexic-friendly fonts made reading less boring and actually enjoyable.

I tried many great accessibility tools, but I found I just needed something minimalist and fast: only the font, spacing, and site exclusions. I created this to solve my own struggle, and I hope it helps you too.
