What the fuck did you do to your text? It’s impossible to read.

Ah. Seems like the effect varies from person to person I guess. Are there any studies on it? I’m kinda interested now.
Is this post about Github seemingly detecting an incorrect licence? The project was relicenced in a later commit, so I dont think this behavior is entirely wrong.
Plus, the license was only changed on a secondary branch. The default branch still has the MIT license. The text at the top isn’t “this is the license file you have open” it’s “the repo is licensed under this” so it’s correct behavior but bad UX. It would be most user-friendly to show repo license and then also say “this branch has an invalid license, beware shenanigans”
What should it do instead? I think the only reasonable action would be not showing it if the licence file was changed.
I see you using bionic reading.
Does it really help at all? Genuinely curious.
Not OP, i never heard of it before, but looking at the screenshot I just find it distracting.
I guess that that’s all that matters.
Did it take time to get used to or did it work straight away?
I feel like you’d be able to tell from the screenshot, if it has an effect on you.
My brain tends to overanalyze individual words, which is great for spotting typos, but awful for reading speeds. This highlighting feels like it helps my brain to quickly go from word to word, and not get stuck on them.
Reading the comments on some reddit posts, it seems like it matters how your brain handles words - like there’s different types of ADD/ADHD with respect to reading (which I guess makes sense considering inattentive ADHD vs hyperactive).
Just reading some examples, for me it seems to help keep my brain on track and continue reading the words, instead of normally skipping words, losing your place, and requiring to reread the paragraph.
Seems to have the same effect to me, very weird.
Normally I tend to skim text pretty quickly, skipping words, but this makes my focus snap back to read every word, very funky feeling.
the thing where it actually helps is if you’re “one word speed reading” (eg. http://onewordreader.com/). Then it’s easier to rapidly focus your eyes on each word, without having to follow a rigid timer. But if you’re reading normally it probably doesn’t help
I might be able to read this on light mode but, on dark mode + that layout it’s hard
not as bad as the 1 word speed reader but still it’s almost impossible to focus on. I’m impressed that you are able to
