It removes +everything but the article from the webpage, displaying it +simply and attractively. + +Running the program multiple times switches between showing the +original page and the 'readable' version. + +Read the file INSTALL for information on installing it into your +browser. + +This project is technically inspired by Arc90's Readability, +but aims to be much simpler, faster, and more usable. More +generally, it is inspired by Sean Birketts' *The Gutenberg +Elegies* and Nicholas Carr's *The Shallows*. + +"The ever-present awareness of possibility to either make or +refuse choice, was to preempt my creating any meditative space +for myself" + - *Sean Birketts, The Gutenberg Elegies* |
