Fika - A Kindle-like reading experience for the web

by•
Fika is a tool which can help you extract the main content from the webpage and present it in a peaceful reading mode. Other than that, Fika retrieves the table of content and offers four delightful themes: Vanilla, Latte, Blabar, Licorice.

How is is different from the in-built reader mode that browsers already provide?
Maker
As I know, Chrome doesn't have a built-in reader mode on desktop. Safari and Edge do have a reader mode for certain websites but they don't support auto-generated table of content. Thanks a lot for your comment.
What's problem with FIKA, I cannot find FIKA on Chrome Webstore?
Maker
I am sorry for the inconvenience. Fika was removed from Chrome Webstore due to a recent change of Google privacy policy. We made some minor modifications, added a privacy policy link and now it's back to the store! Thanks.

As a heavy web reader, I finally got the kindle-like reading experience in Chrome. The four custom themes including night mode are beautiful. And the auto-generated table-of-content is super useful when reading long articles!
The table of content swallows some spaces in the chapter titles, e.g. "Ducksto the rescue" instead of "Ducks to the rescue".
Maker
Good catch. I just verified that this is a bug for non-break spaces (nbsp;). Will fix it in next version. Thank you.
Have you guys looked at outline.com ? How does your product differ from theirs
Maker
Thanks for sharing this. I just checked outline.com. It seems more like an annotation tool for the web. Fika is an easy-to-use Chrome extension that provides kindle-like reading experience and auto-generated table of content.
Sorry its just hit me, when I saw it. It is kinda slang here, but still...
Well... better you don't know what does it mean in italian... :P
Maker
Oops...Fika is actually a Swedish word. It means a coffee break that’s more about socialising than drinking coffee. And something sweet is also welcome.
Also, "blabar" is pidgin Swedish for "blåbär", which is an actual word in Swedish which means "blueberry". :)
Maker
Exactly. You get it right. Thank you.

Go to China Market

Pros:

Nice UI

Cons:

Multi Language

Maker
Hi Andy, Fika actully supports multi language. It auto detects the language of current webpage and provide related fonts to choose from. Try it out. ;-)

Good job!!

Pros:

Awesome app to read news and medium posts with desk top brower

It looks pretty, but styling doesn't work for me. Tried on Medium, images are gone.
