A Chrome extension to make the webcomic Homestuck (and various unofficial spinoffs) easier to read by replacing its many UNR34D4BL3 2triing2 0f tttext with more standard English spelling and grammar.
Homestuck is an epic 8000+ page online story told in a combination of text, pictures, video, and even playable in-browser video games.
Homestuck and its spinoffs are known for representing conversations between characters entirely in a faux chat log format. Each character uses their own unique style of typing, ranging from the fairly simple (SHOUTING IN ALL CAPS) to the nearly illegible (R3P74C1NG NUMB3R77 W17H L3773R5 BUT INC0N5151573N7LY). This can make the story challenging for many readers, especially readers with disabilities.
While traditional text replacement extensions do exist, the complexity of many quirks makes it difficult for many users to simply 'search and replace'. Additionally, as replacement needs vary depending on the specific character speaking, global search and replace will not provide the desired outcome.
HomeUnstuck is available via the Chrome web store under Accessibility / HomeUnstuck for Chrome V38 and higher.
