Hey folks!
I built Zen Reader(at first for myself) after struggling to focus online for years but I polished it and released it to the chrome store thinking it could be useful for people like me . It's designed for people with ADHD who want a calmer, more structured reading experience. I'd love your thoughts, feedback, and ideas for new features!
Tried it this week and it really helped me stay focused during long research sessions. Loved the reading position memory — such a small feature, but super useful. Definitely sharing this with friends who struggle with focus too!
Really thoughtful feature set. How do you plan to balance customization with keeping the interface calm and distraction-free for users who need it most?
I have added different options to hide everything expect the main article text. Title can be hidden, and buttons also when not moving mouse. And scrolling can be done with arrows, this allows a fully calming reading experience for the very hard to focus people out there.
