Absolutely fantastic! Exactly the type of fast reading software I was looking for. Despite the many attempts from competitors to build fast reading chrome extensions, I think this one has finally cracked it. One thing I would request is to get this as a standalone app (and not an extension) so I can start using it for Notion and other apps! Edit: It would be great to have also have the alternative option where every single word is highlighted at the speed of reading you would want.
