Thank you very much for your suggestions. These are very constructive and I will try to implement them in the future. Could you tell me which browser and environment you’re using? I’m trying to figure out why it loads slowly.
Thank you. I really appreciate your help. By the way, the v0.0.2 update has been released. I added a function to remove 80 ~ 90 % of the Ads on any webpages to make the layout cleaner. And some desktop users want dark theme, so I added a switch to toggle between dark and light theme. As for UI improvement, I'll do it in the later updates.
Thank you! My next step is to submit the extension to the Edge and Safari platforms. I expect the Safari review process to be more rigorous, so I will address some existing issues before submitting.
I think Kindle's experimental browser does not support javaScript so that's the reason why there's no eink icon. I do hope I can use Eink mode on my Kindle too.
Actually, EinkBro's Reader mode is using Mozilla's readability.js. I've actually been using EinkBro for over four years. One of the main reasons I want to develop Eink Mode is to achieve true pagination, where text and images aren't cut off at the edge of the screen. EinkBro's approach involves scrolling a fixed distance by tapping page turn zones on the screen (just like pressing the space bar when using a desktop) , and it removes the scrolling animation using "jumping" by a 'scrollHeight' amount. However, this still has the issue of potential content cutoff.
I've tried Reader Mode, but Safari's Reader Mode doesn't properly display JavaScript elements, such as my footNote popups, and some YouTube videos also fail to load correctly. Additionally, embedded Google Maps within this article don't appear accurately, and many website layouts get distorted. Furthermore, current Reader Modes on major browsers predominantly rely on scrolling, which isn't ideal for E Ink. These shortcomings are pain for E Ink users and this is why I'm advocating for this alternative mode.
I completely agree. When it comes to eInk, then classic reader mode scrolling is an inconvenience. But compared to normal browsing, it is great. As for distorting website layouts, that is usually a bonus. Reader mode + standardized website navigation layout would be the golden solution.
Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention. I will try to modify it to automatically detect if the user has used highlighting or handwriting features, and only then will this prompt appear.
