Nice job. ReadSVP (an offline tool) is probably one of the most popular focal-point based speed readers out there but I've seen a few online ones pop up on HN in the past few months as well.

Some Feedback:
You've got speed as WPM which implies a constant word rate but it clearly slows down in relation to the length of the current word. Nothing wrong with that, but are you factoring these unequal times such that the overall speed still matches the designated WPM?
- Ronyisonline 8mo agoFirst of all...good attention to detail man!! And yes that is something I have done intentionally i.e. the words which are longer than a certain threshold are shown for a longer period of time. But looking at the exact calculations...it would not exceed the word by a big extend unless there is a paragraph which has all the words which are very long.
