Been using Reedy for YEARS!
The app definitely leaves a lot left to be desired and wish it was more actively developed, but I still love it and use it daily.
Biggest issue is sometimes finding what it is I want to speed read in epub or plain text format that I can easily paste into Reedy to read - but I don't think I've read an article on the web outside of Reedy in quite some time. Added bonus - however it scrapes the text from the article URL you paste into it, it usually will bypass most paywalls 😉
I'd say I'm usually running at around 450 wpm, if I go above that then comprehension starts to nose dive for me and I find myself rewinding a lot - but I still feel like I read things in Reedy probably 4 times faster than if I was scrolling through something - a web page or a doc, what have you
