Student here, I read way too much for uni — ended up building the RSVP app I never found

App / Website

I'm a student and between coursework and everything else I have to read a lot. For years I've been looking for a speed reading app that actually works, tried a bunch of them, was never happy with any of them. So I built my own.

It's RSVP - one word (or a couple words) at a time at a fixed point, so your eyes stop jumping around. EPUBs work well at this point. PDFs are still the part I'm actively improving, the layout stuff is harder than I expected.

Free tier is meant to actually stay usable, not a trial that nags you. You can get through your whole reading life on it if you want. Pro is just the extra stuff on top for people who want more speed range and options, not required.

I'd really like feedback on how it feels to actually read with it - does the flow hold up after a few minutes, where does it break down for you. That matters more to me right now than anything else.

Offline, no account needed. TestFlight link if you want to try it:
