Interesting concept, but it looks like every word is displayed on the screen for the exact same amount of time, rather than varying for different word lengths/common words, positioning of word on screen etc. How does this compare to Spritz?
Ever since I saw early Spritz demos, I've been wanting to have something like this, that easily connected to my read-it-later + other services. Going to check it out.

@jydesign Yeah I have demoed the apps that had spritz integrated and was disappointed. This looks awesome and also hopefully because it's new they may have I watch support, which would be good for messages/ emails... Maybe.

"Read faster than ever before, one word at a time. Speed read articles from the web at superhuman speeds. Finish your reading list in record time with Accelerator." Just the thing I need in these days of too much Todo's and not enough spare-time...

I think it would be really cool if you could time someone reading naturally (have them press a "start" and "stop" button) and let them compare to how long it would have taken them to read the same text with Accelerator. 78 words in 15 seconds just doesn't mean anything to me if I have nothing to compare it to!
@joelburke2014 We support txt, rtf, articles in Instapaper, Pocket, Readability, and anything you can browse to on the web. Books are tricky due to DRM, chapters, and other things we haven’t accounted for yet.

Sad not to be able to test the app before buying...
@pierre_vannier That said, the website homepage does offer what appears to be a pretty realistic demo of the reading UX
Report
@jydesign@pierre_vannier ... Definitely not the same as testing the real app.
Paying upfront before testing is in my opinion a no go.
Moreover, there are tons of business models which would have allowed to launch a free app like for example testing the first couple of articles free and then ask for payment...
