BETA/PRE BETA
Read articles FAST!
grokfaster is a chrome extension designed to help you read the content of pages and articles a lot faster. This speed-reading technique has been known for a while and is now gaining popularity. Even if you've never used it before you might fine you can read at 500+ WPM
Please keep in mind this is an EARLY BETA, and I would love feedback. If there's any problems, chances are in the coming days it will be addressed, if not, let me know! Thanks!
Current Features (v 0.1.2):

- Space bar for pause
- Escape or click background to stop reading
- Option for WPM (words per minute)
- Option for focal point
User reviews
Could be 5 stars if the next version would have:
- support in Right-to-Left languages
- dark mode (right now the whole background is darken, but the text background is still white)
- option to press space bar to begin reading the selected text
Please add mention, that you don't use any of Spritz patent garbage, implementing your extension, based on basic RSVP and your own improvements. Because those patent trolls shut down everything they can touch.
Love the preview of the last and next word, helps at faster reading speeds.
