hatchet news

Pacer is a Chrome extension designed to help you read faster on the web. I created it out of frustration with alternatives that required copying and pasting text repeatedly.

It’s based on a technique called RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation), where words are shown one at a time in quick succession to minimize the time spent reading. However, unlike traditional RSVP, the words in Pacer aren’t fixed in one place.

It’s been helpful for me and several friends, and I’d love for you to try it as well. It's not perfect and there are things that are up for improvement but am sharing it here for everybody to use. Pacer is free and available on the Chrome Web Store.

Give it a try, and I’d appreciate any feedback on how I can improve it to make your web reading experience even better.
