Bionic Reading – Convert Text into Better Way to Read Faster
Since it isn't mentioned this is inspired/based on https://bionic-reading.com/ (discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30787290). Note, although it has been granted patent only in France, the Bionic Reading name is registered trademark. A web extension was made soon after the link was posted and can be found in https://github.com/ahrm/chrome-fastread (Firefox vers: https://github.com/akay/firefox-fastread).

An Open-Source Chrome Extension for Bionic Reading
Yes, it's actually both of those things.
Primarily, the different settings they have. I've found a plugin that gets closer to their functionality: https://github.com/ahrm/chrome-fastread
- I am sure there is a CSS wizard here who knows how this might be achieved...

Effect of Perceptual Load on Performance Within IDE in People with ADHD Symptoms
Too bad the article is not open-access, as I would expect from JetBrains.
Extra cognitive load slows everyone. It's just that the effect is measurably distinct in people with executive function (distractability) issues, with respect to speed. The distinction between debugging and coding is not really active vs monotonous but driven by your own ideas vs chasing (a problem). The study isn't realistic, but it's designed to get a measurable result (and to showcase the "efficiency tracking" plugin).
Anecdotally, everyone adjusts their IDE, or accommodates what can't (easily) be changed. Too bad that wisdom is lost and hard to share.
I think the solution here is more configurable UI's, with the configuration being automated/scriptable so that once you've established your preferences, you can replicate them through upgrades, etc.
The most configurable IDE of course is Eclipse (which is in decline because no one gets paid directly to write for it, and it's cheaper to publish a language server for your new language than build an IDE). You can arrange views as you like, change menu and toolbar visibility, change key bindings, and of course add whatever plugins/features you need. You can save view configurations as a workspace and save various preferences. But because components come from everywhere, support for configuration capture varies.
People share their dotfiles for shell and vi/emacs configuration, but not their IDE configurations. It's too bad, because then there would be a configuration population to analyze when raising UI issues.
ADHD and ASD are a broad spectrum. It may help to join the tribe because it validates our experience, but then we can fail to recognize our brain's specific biases. Worse, anyone over 7 has been getting good at compensating, which hides the issue, and our culture of excellence/competition/success == good (therefore failure bad) further obscures with shame, defeat, and self-sabotage. Legal requirements for accommodation help set a global floor, but may also work as a local ceiling by supplanting ordinary fellow-feeling.
For reading fatigue, consider a dyslexia font, e.g., https://opendyslexic.org.

Dyslexia font support
GitHub link Website link Source license SIL-OFL I've come across this font that aims to make reading easier for people with dyslexia and I've never seen it implemented before. I feel like it would be really cool if it got implemented into more things :)
- I am genuinely confused about this and have been for a while, but always felt like I'd look stupid if I asked. Do historians not know what year he was born? Surely he would've known, and I imagine he would've told people.
