It would be nice if you animated the position changes to avoid the jumpiness.

Having used this, its not without its issues.

  * Adds a performance penalty over straight Mapbox-GL.
  * No support for animations / flyovers / etc.
  * You have to give width/height in pixels for map size.
  * Can't introspect map to get layer / point data w/o hacks.

The recent ver 3.0 was a big improvement.

These issues were big enough that I just recently removed this library on a new project in favor of straightforward Mapbox GL JS. The inability to use percentages for height/width is a major drawback. No sense in adding size to the bundle for fewer options.

Seconded, in our case we haven't yet but its on the roadmap.

It does not make it easy to access the mapbox library API directly. It claims there is a way, but it's not documented.

You can get the mapbox-gl map instance by using a ref and then grabbing the mapbox-gl map off of that (but not documented or officially supported).

The storage abstraction layer is also a shared concept, even down to providing only a free RAM implementation.

I wrote one of these things(bookmarklet) but I never really use it. Reading in this fashion while faster just isn't that enjoyable in my experience.

I made one with those features(except that pause doesn't jump to that word)

I made one too that has key bindings as well: http://www.davidhampgonsalves.com/spritz-like-rsvp-reader-bo...

Made the same thing yesterday: http://www.davidhampgonsalves.com/spritz-like-rsvp-reader-bo...

HN will probably see a lot of these in the next few days.

Edit: Some users requested keybindings and I found them useful(pause, skip, rewind, etc).

I was going to comment to say ability to pause/rewind would be awesome. Seems like you've already done that! I also like the interaction of selecting the text you want to speed-read.

One thing that might be interesting, is a shortcut to jump to the article where the current word is. This happens when I want to glance at a paragraph above, and don't want to rewind all the way back.

That sounds pretty good but how does she decide whats on her list?

Not to be nitpick but is it pretty well proven that there are other self-aware animals.

Love this comment. The biased pointing fingers at the biased.
