@ryzalyusoff great product! It's a nice touch to be able to not only clean the UX but customize colors! What can we expect in the next version ?
Ryzal Yusoff πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ
@juanpablosarmi Hi Juan, thank you! There are a couple of features that I’m planning to add on the next version such as being able to select and hear text immediately, sync notes dierectly with Google Drive/Dropbox and also "Send to Kindle" feature. If you have any other idea for next features, do let me know! πŸ™Œ 😊

Absolutely recommend this product, we are living in the world of distractions, it is common to feel that we don't focus well today, we need more products like Readermode. Thank you Ryzal.
Ryzal Yusoff πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ
@nhuphan0404 Thank you Winnie! This is very true indeed, and exactly the reason why I built Reader Mode 😊 Let’s aim for less distraction and more productivity! πŸ™ŒπŸ€—

Will products like these ever be illegal? Since they are stealing from the publishers and the people writing the articles.

Congrats on the launch Ryzal. This is a really cool product! I'm on Firefox so I'll wait for a port to try it. I'm especially excited about the "Save edited pages" feature, it would help me a ton with my research process as a writer. Combined with the "print pages", it becomes an incredible productivity tool I would definitely use every day.
Ryzal Yusoff πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ
@bsamel Thank you very much Basile! The Firefox version will come very soon I promise! 😊 And ah yes, those are the features that I love as well! πŸ™Œ Can’t wait for you to try it and hear your experience. I’ll keep you updated πŸ€—

@ryzalyusoff congratulations on the launch! Love the site, super clean, would still love a way to play with the text customization without installing the extension. Maybe a sample article to play with? Regardless, awesome job and congrats!

Need this for Safari PLZZZZZZ
Ryzal Yusoff πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ
@ciyao_ Hi Vincent, the Firefox and Safari version will be released soon 😊
Vladimir Prelovac
@ciyao_ @ryzalyusoff Hey Ryzal - Safari and Firefox already have built in reader modes. What is the fundamental difference between your extension and that? It seems that you are using mozilla's readability.js under the hood.
Ryzal Yusoff πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ
@ciyao_ @freediver Hey Vladimir - Yes I do realize about this. While there are a lot of differences the fundamental ones would be the Dyslexia supports which include Dyslexia Fonts, Dyslexia Ruler and Text-to-speech. On top of this, it comes with plenty of other features such as Text highlighting and note-taking, full and easy theme cuztomization, Google Translate, Google Search and many more! Here’s the quick highlight of what this extension has and can do: βœ” Distraction-free and ad-free "Reader Mode" βœ” Theme customization βœ” Custom CSS βœ” Print pages βœ” Fullscreen mode βœ” Auto-run ability βœ” Deletion of unwanted elements βœ” Save edited pages βœ” Share To Twitter βœ” Dyslexia Fonts βœ” Dyslexia Ruler βœ” Text To Speech βœ” Article Outline βœ” Text annotating and highlighting βœ” Note List βœ” Auto-scroll functionality βœ” Dark Panel Mode βœ” Google Search βœ” Google Translate Most of these features as what you can see above are not available on the default and basic reader that comes with Firefox and Safari. Hope this answering your question and do let me know if you have any other concern 😊

Hey Ryzal. I love the product. Been waiting for a similar product for a while. I want to get Pro version but I had few questions. Where are you storing my notes and highlights? How long can you promise the same service? I am asking this because I am going to put my time and effort into highlighting and note-taking. My current workflow is β€” I import the page to the Notion app and then do the highlighting and note-taking. I am not worried about the Notion app because I know I will have an option to export all that stuff whenever I want. I hope I made myself clear. Thanks for the lovely Extention.
Ryzal Yusoff πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ
@bobthebuilder Hi there, thank you for all the love! All your notes and highlights are stored on your local machine/computer so you do not need to worry about the service shutting down or anything ( although it is very unlikely :) ) . And this is the reason why I am able to make the extension purchase as a one time payment and not a subscription service. Currently you could easily save all your Notes to Google Drive and also print it out and then upload it to whichever service you want :) But soon I'm planning to add the exporting feature so that it will be easier to just export all your notes to Notion and all other services. Hope this helps and if you have any other concern, just ask away and I'm ready to help you out πŸ™ŒπŸ˜Š
Bob The Builder
@ryzalyusoff Thank you so much. Makes things clear. Love the no subscription model :) Wishing you luck.
Ryzal Yusoff πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ
@bobthebuilder No worries at all and I hope you enjoy the extension! And thank you! :))

Congrats on the launch, @ryzalyusoff ! Been using Readermode.io it helps me focus better when reading online article. It's a thoughtful tool in a sense that you can customize fonts, theme, get rid of ads. Highly recommend getting the PRO version b/c you get the annotating feature & note list. Super helpful!
Ryzal Yusoff πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ
@whizzzoe Thank you so much Zoe for all your kind words and feedback! I’m really happy that Reader Mode has helped you to focus better. More focus = more productivity 😼 And thanks again for the recommendation! πŸ™ŒπŸ€—
Stephen Weiss
@ryzalyusoff - looks great! one question that I didn't see addressed: how do you handle gists (e.g., from github)? Do those get stripped out too? Gists basically are the bane of my online reading existence. They don't wrap text. Reader modes strip them out. It's terrible. If you solve that (particularly with a printer mode), that's a feature I'd pay for! (I'm one of those weird people who print out articles to _really_ focus on what I'm reading :) )
Ryzal Yusoff πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ
@stephenweiss1 Hi Stephen, thanks! And that you for addressing the issue with gists. I will look into this and figure out the best way to solve it! And ah, I totally understand that and could relate! Will let you know when issue is solved :))
Tommy Le
Given what you guys have achieved with this extension I seriously have to consider switching to this one. Previously I tried MercuryReader which serve the same main function like this extension. But your extension has a far better customization. The Pro Version is also reasonably priced. Especially I'm quite surprised to see text-to-speech to be free because this kind of feature tends to be charged. One thing I noted though is that: it seems auto-run video will still run in the background unless I turn it off from the original page before using Reader Mode. For example: I opened a page from CNN & it has a video. I immediately clicks Reader Mode and after around 5 secs I still hear the video running although I don't see it. And so I have to turn off Reader Mode first, then pause the video.
Ryzal Yusoff πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ
@tommyle1289 Hi Tommy, thank you for your kind words and feedback! And hopefully you did switch to this extension now :) And yeah, text-to-speech is one of the dyslexia supports that this extension offers for free. And because it is a dyslexia/disability feature, it is only fair to not charge for it. Rest assured, all the disability features including the ones that will be included soon, will always be free :) And oh, I missed that one and thanks for letting me know! Will fix it ASAP and the fix should be available in the next release 😊

Awesome tool that I already used multiple times for research for school.

lucas hogendoorn
This product is incredible!! I wonder, how many devices per purchase?
Ryzal Yusoff πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ
@lucas_hogendoorn Hi Lucas, thanks! πŸ™Œ Each license is limited to 2 simultaneous activations. Package of licenses (2, 5 or 10) will have the same key but you can activate it 4, 10 or 20 times, simultaneously. Hopefully this answers your question, but if you still have any doubt, feel free to ask! πŸ€—

I’ve been using Reader Mode for a little over a week and it’s been great. I love the theme customization and minimalistic design. I’ve tried a lot of other reading extensions, but this one is my favorite. πŸ˜„ Congrats Ryzal!!
