Surely that's mentioned in the limitations of the study? In my quick scan of the abstract, I don't recall seeing anything about it. Could have missed it though.

From the study abstract:

"Our search identified 172 observational studies across 16 countries and six continents, with no randomised controlled trials"

Don't have a chance to read the full article until later. Does anyone know if they are controlling for confounding factors (e.g. urban/rural, public/private settings)?

Re:Notreadable – a simple readability app I built on Sunday August 02, 2020 @04:46PM (#24031585)
Hi all,

Notreadable is an app for assessing the readability of text (e.g. grade level, syllable count, difficult words, and more).

I built it after growing frustrated with other offerings (e.g. readable.com), which often require an email sign up, subscription, and/or are covered in advertisements.

Cheers

I've been using https://www.zettlr.com/ for a while and can't live without it.

I created a mashup of Zettelkasten + bullet journaling + a linking system based on tagging and IDs that models the fact that knowledge is both hierarchical and associative - i.e. fractal.
