☕Meet Mona and Bob, slightly older but sexier voices in new V2.5.0 of #PNLReader. This version also has smoother transitions between paragraphs during continuous reading. Now you can really read a long article on any website.

Changed PNL Reader's open-source license from MIT to GPLv3 since today. You know what it means if you have used github. Probably it doesn't matter anyway.

Thought about doing something similar, then I found someone already done it, only better. From big bang to present, 14 billion years of human-universe history in one single timeline, mind blowing!

📱💻Responsive design is a basic requirement nowadays. I designed PNL Reader to be that way as well. Am I doing it right? 🤔

Using Firefox daily for work. Never noticed this. Have you tried restarting WiFi on the OS?

doodlemancy @doodlemancy.com · 8d

REALLY hate this quirk Firefox has developed where if my internet connection drops for even a second, it flips out and pretends there's no internet for 5-10 minutes even if everything else has already recovered 🫠 even restarting doesn't fix it, it just throws a shitfit

A reddit user asked for custom font support. Why would I say no? 😄 As a CJK user, I understand the struggle. It’s much cooler to use your own CJK font!🎨 Starting with version 2.3.1, you can now add and manage local fonts. 🚀

🧵 A user asked for Firefox support on Android, and I thought, “Sure, why not?”
Today, I finally got it running on my Android device using WSL on Windows. Little did I know how much effort it would take to get Android development working in WSL! ☕👇

Something wasn’t quite right. I cached audio while reading paragraph by paragraph, but if a paragraph was too long, the browser could hit the storage limit and throw a "storage quota exceeded" error. Fixed that in v2.1.1, which also includes improved mobile UI. Such’s dev life! 😄 #devlog #webdev

Updated the reader app again! Finally added auto page turning + reading. Now I can just listen to books on Royalroad or Scribblehub. Any other ebookworms? 📚
