READX

A speed reader POC. Space bar pauses reading and shows word context.

Setup

  1. Clone repo
  2. start both api and ui portions by running the following command npm run start in each directory.

Components

UI

This is a react app that provides a URL input to pick the source of the content. It then shows text content one word at a time. You can pause the speed reader by pressing space and it will show context of the current sentence(s).

API

Provides an endpoint that takes a target url, requests the content and uses a library to extract the text content and return it. Basically stripping HTML and misc.
