Turning English websites into a Spanish learning experience is a neat idea, because as you say it fits into peoples current habits. It's definitely worth exploring but currently Readlang's focus is learning from real native texts. I'm trying not to lose focus and to Do One Thing Really Well (TM).
I agree that procrastination is a huge problem. I'd prefer try to tackle this by introducing more opportunities for learners to encounter Spanish texts, one way to do this would be to create a browser homepage with recommended Spanish websites, texts, videos, and practice exercises.
> It's just a guess, but I think a lot of people would benefit if this step gets streamlined. It's already cool that it doesn't require restarting the browser, and making it even more seamless would be awesome. A user has only to click on the install button on the Chrome extensions pages and that's it. No further intervention.
It's already very simple to install the Chrome extension, and once installed I think it's correct that it requires a click to activate on a webpage since it does take resources and slow down the page, so I wouldn't want it working on every web-page.
For the bookmarklet - I completely agree that it isn't intuitive, the experience on mobile browsers is particularly horrible, but web-developers have limited control over this without better support from the browsers.
