 how is that different from highlighter?
 
 follow me 
 No websockets. We tested our various ereaders today and they all passed out trying to use websockets. 😂 
 it should be possible to write lighter weight webapps that compose raw JSON content and use plain HTTP

i seem to recall the web dev guy i used to work with back in 2018 writing Go services that pulled data from simple flat file stores containing JSON and using pure HTTP with simple javascript, it's probably something half way between static site generator and web 2.0 style pre-PWA style you need to build 
 Or do that. I have no idea. I'm not really from that specialty, I just want my app. 🤣 

I love reading the articles, but get so tired of staring at glaring screens. That's why I have the Kindle and Tolino apps on my phone, but I hardly use them. Always go for the e-reader.
My laptop is better than the phone, so Nostrudel and Highlighter and Habla get a lot of use, but then I get all ADD and start clicking around to see if I have notifications or an email came in and what's on Slack...  
 can relate... it definitely would help us attention deficit kids
