We are also impacted. Services still down.
UI's intention is to let you 'drop' reading anywhere and comeback to that point whenever you feel like.
Thanks for the feedback, the idea is to take the 'addiction' part of UIs like tiktok,IG reels etc. and use it for long form content, making people read more.
Thanks for the feedback, yeah that's the main idea behind the project. Glad that you find it useful.
Better in way that it's reading is free from distraction and you can control the speed at which you want to read.
I made some improvements based on the feedback received, looking forward to more comments.
Hi HN, creator here. This is a speed reading tool for longform articles, with speed control. I believe the conversational style UI, can make text reading better and you can come back to the later to read from where you left, it will automatically seek to that position. It also gives you exact time it will take you to read through whole article along with % of article you have read.

I am also experimenting with integrating various AI, APIs like text summarization, automatic tagging etc. to help user read in a better way.

Would love to hear more feedback.

Can become very popular if they link it with some kind of crypto mining, just keep your mobile phone at window and earn crypto!

I am looking to build an open road accident database and related API for India. Road accident/crash is huge problem in India and there is no open dataset available for realtime or historical crash data.

We would start by creating a web scrapper for news site to scrap crash related data and provide a searchable interface to query this data. This dataset can be used to provide realtime notifications for risky roads etc.

We can brainstorm on various ideas related to this problem. You can contact me, my email is in my profile.

My first failed project was Iddhis.com, an anti-social network where you can connect with only your close friends. Some media coverage here - https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/internet/iddhis-ai...

My second failed project was RingAd.net - an android app which gave you coupons for listening to advertisement jingles as your mobile ringtone. Some media coverage - http://www.sunday-guardian.com/investigation/download-a-free...

My third failed project was a Board/Card game, it also failed to pick up after initial buzz. https://yourstory.com/2014/06/geekybuddha/amp

Re:Colorado 'solar garden' is a farm under solar panels on Sunday November 14, 2021 @07:46PM (#29222259)
In India government is encouraging this and have a scheme for farmers to setup solar plants and do farming together. The scheme is yet to pickup but good to see results like this.
Living at farm and working remotely. I have found happiness and inner peace from the solitude and the lack of resources which I have been consuming without much thought.
