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...

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
Sioyek: a PDF viewer optimized for reading research papers and textbooks. https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek
It has a lot of niche features, but my favorite is the ability to preview or jump to references even when they are not linked in the PDF file.

SumatraPDF Reader
I implore all developers of PDF readers to implement sioyek's overview feature[0]. When you hover on a cross-referenced entry, it opens a little preview window with the contents of the reference. It is an absolute game-changer for reading textbooks and technical papers; I cannot overstate its utility.

- Vimtex: sioyek is not executable. Any idea how to solve this. I'm on wsl2 Ubuntu.

Sioyek PDF Viewer on Asahi Linux
Has anyone been able to run the sioyek PDF viewer (https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek) on Asahi? I've tinkered around a little, but the max I've gotten to is a black window with the executable complaining about an inability to compile certain shaders. Would this be due to the current OpenGL in mesa-asahi-edge (and thus can't be solved until we get more recent OpenGL version support) or is there some way to finagle around this?

PDF Viewer that Compiles LaTeX Notes?
Maybe chat to the dev of https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek about adding this as a feature. It's probably the closest pdf viewer I can think of that might do something like this in the future.
