A paid version of Just Read #20
Comments
Loving the work you have done, Zach. Been searching for an app like this and would be happy to support/pay. Would be good to have the ability to add the main picture from the article. |
Hey @brendanchua and thanks for the complement and suggestion! If the article formats their content well, Just Read should already pick up big images like that. I think it'd be best to create a new issue here on GitHub including details like the URL(s) that don't show this main image. |
If you could save annotated pages directly to Google Drive as static .pdfs, it would be extremely convenient. I would gladly pay a monthly fee for that service, especially if you could in some way automate the date-tagging and parse LaTeX images. |
If we can highlight in different colors I'd definitely pay for it. Also would love the ability to save to evernote with the highlights + annotations. |
I'm not sure if this would work better as a paid feature or a free one, but I think it'd be helpful to have a quick/easy way to add a site to the Right now the flow is to:
So that's 3-4 clicks, plus manually typing out the domain name (or copy/pasting and removing the protocol & query string). It'd be better for me if I just could right-click on the page and there'd be a menu item to add the current domain to the list (2 clicks); or if there was an option in the context menu for the |
Thanks for the suggestion! That's a good idea. I hardly ever add sites to the auto-run list so I hadn't thought about how long it takes. I think I'd add it to the right click context menu. The auto-run list does not require saving FYI :) |
I miss a lot a readability-style service for mobile devices. |
Just my 2 cents: At some point Google Chrome might compete with you if their data says that a reader feature resonates with the users. It takes them a tiny amount of resources to make your plugin obsolete. Focus on features (such as integrations, interoperability, productivity), which Google might not be interested in implementing. That way you can move to their native solution and add value features on top of that - as soon as they enter the space. |
Thanks for this extension, Zach. I'm late to comment but was wondering if this could run automagically after loading a website? I see a similar comment above about adding sites to autorun, but was thinking more along the lines of being able to browse websites and then have this extension run (without clicking). |
@planotex Just Read already has an auto run feature as well as hotkeys for running Just Read. What are you imagining differently than these features? |
Thanks, I see that area now and I'm going to check it out. |
@planotex Ah, I think I understand what you're wanting now. You want to navigate between all pages using the JR's view, right? I think this is a harder problem than you might imagine it would be across all websites. With the current functionality it can usually be done within a certain domain using the auto-run feature (I have an entry that is But it is a very difficult problem to know which links are true navigation links and which ones are spam, unnecessary links to an article (at least without some ML algorithm checking all of the links - even then I'm sure the mistake rate would be relatively high). If someone can think of a good way to solve this, especially in a relatively simple way, I'd be happy to implement it, but as is I don't think Just Read can get much better at navigating between articles in its view than it currently does. |
You got it. |
Hi, great job here, thank you. Ideas for paid version:
|
@sorburu You can hide videos in Just Read using CSS - something like Same thing for the "Viewed using Just Read" - Thanks for the suggestions! |
Wow thank you very much, it worked with |
@sorburu I'll be turning my attention to Just Read after I complete a different personal project of mine. However, I am short on time so I can't make any promises in terms of a timeline. I'll keep this post updated. |
There's now a premium version of Just Read!Included features:
For more information check out Just Read's home page or the FAQ section. |
To do on the premium version is to research the feasibility to create a way to share a page in the JR version for mobile Chrome. The mobile version wouldn't have the ability to customize all of the options like the Chrome extension has. Note that currently when you share a page in premium the link it creates is viewable in mobile. |
The newest version of Just Read (v 5.0) now supports Premium features in every browser 🥳 |
Edit: There's now a premium version of Just Read! See https://justread.link/ for more information.
After thinking about the future of Just Read and some requests that have been made (#8, #18, #34), I have decided to start work on a paid version of Just Read that would potentially have the following additional features:
Possibly also:
Question:
Are there any other features that you'd like to see in a paid version?

To be clear I will continue to maintain and update the free version, it just won't have any of the specific features in the above list.
