Readly

Hey everyone 👋 When I started experimenting with RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation), I realized the idea wasn’t new — but still full of untapped potential. The core challenge I kept seeing in existing tools was UX and control. Most RSVP readers feel like video players: you hit play, and suddenly you’re on a rollercoaster — hard to stop or rewind without losing focus. With Readly, I tried to fix that. It’s built for mobile with hold-to-read thumb control, smart punctuation pauses (short for commas, longer for periods), and subtle focus cues to make even 600 wpm feel natural. From feedback so far, some people love the focus and flow, others feel it’s too different from traditional reading — and that’s exactly what I’d love to discuss here: 👉 Does RSVP reading make sense for long-form books? 👉 What would make this approach more practical for you? Would love your thoughts, experiments, and honest takes — this project is all about learning in public 💬
