Can someone enlighten me what's the actual use for this project? I can only imagine a student that wants to read some mundane stuff but their parents are watching so they pretend to study a scientific paper.

Anything else?

See this part of the readme: "Special shout out to the friends who suggested, as a follow-up project, making a browser extension to transform the current web page into a scientific paper. Sort of like Firefox reader mode, but for viewing Twitter when someone looking over your shoulder expects you to be doing something else."

It is useless. That's why it's interesting.
