Spritz, OpenSpritz, Squirt, etc.: having the possibility to read (only) news faster

Open matttbe opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

Hello Tontof,

How are you? :-)

There were a lot of news about Spritz, a "new" way to read faster. I guess you know what I'm talking about ;-) It's certainly not something magical but according to this conclusion, it's maybe a good idea to have the possibility to read a lot of news faster:

So, in short: Speed reading anything you need to truly comprehend is probably a bad idea. However, if you have a few documents you need to get through or you're reading something that isn't that important, these methods can still be worthwhile. Just know that you won't become a super-fast reading comprehension machine.

There are already a few projects that provide a clone of Spritz, some of them are free and Open-Source and a few of them are using JavaScript, e.g. OpenSpritz and Squirt.

Why not having the possibility to add a button per article to read it faster? :-)

Hi !

Well, that could be really interesting but I will definetly have no time to look at that before... who knows :-) For now, I'm very busy and I will have to improve the compilation scripts first as I've changed a bit and I hope I will be able to perform it using only php while I was using bash.
