Repository files navigation

Warning

Personal project. Use at your own risk, feature might break in future.

Why

  • Open a large-size text file (e.g. book) in Microsoft Edge and listening with Read Aloud is laggy.
  • Finding out where I last left off is troublesome.

Feature

  • Save text file in browser IndexedDB
  • Save read progress to github repository
  • Autosave when Read Aloud stop reading
  • Personalisation settings (theme, font size, scroll position)
  • Save settings to github repository
  • PWA, able to add as shortcut to your mobile

Configuration

Repository path

Create a new repository for progress and setting storage.

Paste your repository path, for example:

input EdgeReadAloud/progress for repository https://github.com/EdgeReadAloud/progress

Create progress.json and setting.json in the repository.
