Focused

Hi Product Hunt! Valerie here, the creator of Focused. I created Focused for personal use since I do a lot of research and browse tons of web pages daily. Focused leverages the scanning reading technique - meaning you read only the first sentence of each paragraph and only if you encounter something interesting, the entire paragraph. As an avid reader, I use this technique a lot when reading books. Since I started to read more and more in a browser, I was thinking that it would be great to have some sort of visual aid to help me get the general idea of an article or a post. I also knew that I needed something extremely simple that won't distract me from reading. This is how Focused, a minimalistic browser extension for speed reading, was born. For months, I've been using Focused to read in a browser faster and decided to share it with others. It's free, it's simple, and it will work on almost any webpage. Feel free to ask about this product—or anything really! And, be sure to let me know what you think! -Valerie
