Is this the same beeline from 10 years ago? I sort of remember installing it back in middle school and really loving it and helping my ability to read walls of text. I never knew it got popular within the ADHD community or that it was still around.

Yep, the same one. You probably heard of us from our Show HN, [1] which I later found out was the 9th-most-popular Show HN, by upvote count. It really gave us a boost, and led to a flurry of media coverage! We still have our browser plugins for web [2] and PDF, [3] but are now also integrated into education platforms, [4] and even some news websites. [5] I've been bootstrapping it (and raising a family) so growth has not been as meteoric as some other startups, but it's been consistently up-and-to-the-right! If there's ever a platform you'd like to see us work with, just let us know and we'll get on it. 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6335784 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6335784 2: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/beeline-reader/ifjafammaookpiajfbedmacfldaiamgg?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/beeline-reader/ifj... 3: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/beeline-reader-pdf-viewer/pmeknoingfjncbdhempgnkdgojickcko?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/beeline-reader-pdf... 4: https://help.perlego.com/en/articles/6386814-read-faster-with-beeline https://help.perlego.com/en/articles/6386814-read-faster-wit... 5: https://inewsource.org/2023/01/25/san-diego-unified-students-are-missing-school-at-alarming-rates/ https://inewsource.org/2023/01/25/san-diego-unified-students...
