Speed reading app
I recently learned that the primary inhibitor for speeding up our reading is the mechanical movement of our eyes (saccades), so I had this idea to make the text move past your eyes rather than your eyes move past the text. The result is this little speed reading app I made in html/javascript. It's probably not original (I was influenced by other things I've seen, but can't recall where). Nevertheless, I thought you might like it too.
Just load up the text you want to read into the "source.txt" file. Save it and then open "speed.html" in a browser (I tested it in Firefox). Adjust the slider to the reading speed you're comfortable with.
