Show HN: Three-step Reader an experimental App for speed reading books

https://vernetit.github.io/s4/
1•Vernetit•1h ago
I built a small experimental speed-reader App that reformats books into a configurable three-step visual layout.

Instead of displaying text as normal paragraphs, it splits the text into blocks like this:

hello world this is a test line line line

The idea is to guide the eye through small chunks instead of long horizontal lines. The layout is configurable, for example 2 x 4 x 3, 3 x 5 x 2, etc.

It also has:

- keyboard navigation - WPM-based speed-reading autoscroll
