Announce Your Software/Service/Product / SpeedReader-Web -- (free)

« Last post by kunkel321 on September 16, 2026, 08:13 PM »

First attempt at a web app.  Check it out if you want.  I've tested it on Pixel tablet, Pixel phone, and Chrome browser on Win 10.  It seems to work well.  The original is SpeedReader.ahk, also in GitHub.  I wanted a version for my tablet, so Claude lead me here.  I have to say, it seems pretty nice.  I like using it better than the ahk version now. 

The link to launch the app is here
https://kunkel321.gi....io/SpeedReader-Web/

And the repo is here
https://github.com/k...l321/SpeedReader-Web

The repo has directions for installing the app.  It can convert epub and pdf files into text files for use.  Of course the conversion doesn't work as well if there are graphics, etc in the ebook.  If it is DRM protected you probably won't be able to convert at all.  Note that the converted text files are stored with the SpeedReader-Web database stuff in your browser, along with all the other junk that your browser saves.  There's not really an "uninstaller" other than clearing your browser junk.  Swipe left/right to change reading speed.  pdf.js and the Carlito font were obtained legally online.  The rest is original code.



fyi there is an AutoHotkey forum thread here
https://www.autohotk...hp?f=17&t=141113
The web app uses no AHK code, but the original speedreader.ahk app does.

Official Announcements / Re: Winding down DonationCoder after 20 years

« Last post by mouser on September 10, 2026, 11:31 AM »

A little update: with the AI coding ability gotten so good, I feel confident that we will have a full (read-only) archive of donationcoder.com and dcmembers.com up before end of year, with all public software and forum posts, profiles, attachments, images, etc. all preserved, and that it can be done in a secure and affordable way so that it can live forever as a historical artifact.
thanks to stephen for starting me on this path.

it will still be at donationcoder.com and dcmembers.com urls, but hosted on a simple server and not using any server software like php, etc.  There will be no database, no ogins, no passwords, no personal messages accessible (or even on the server in any form).    So it will be secure indefinitely.

HOWEVER,

What you still need to do:
Any forum personal messages will be gone from this archive, so if you want a copy you need to download your personal messages now if you want a record of them.
Any content on any of the non-public forums will be gone (Basement, old coding school, administrative chat forum section).  So grab anything you need there.

Also: Your donationcredits info will be gone, so request paypal payment of any donationcredits remaining in your account asap.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Windows 11, FARR takes minutes to load

« Last post by Ath on September 09, 2026, 01:40 AM »

Most likely you have also got your Home directory stored in OneDrive, as companies often do, to ease 'backup' of users' files. That tends to be quite slow, especially on startup.
Maybe moving the software and configuration to an explicitly local folder on your PC solves this.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Open Source?

Checking in @mouser? FARR still has a few bugs I'd love to patch out, and I'd rather not move away from FARR.

I use it a lot on win 11 and have never had such an issue - if you want to debug you could run procmon and trace to see whats going on.

N.A.N.Y. 2026 / Re: N.A.N.Y. 2026 submission -- Sticky Notes

« Last post by kunkel321 on September 07, 2026, 11:38 AM »

I just added support for hyperlinks and images in notes.  Since they have to be encoded using plain text it's a bit clunky (like a mashup of markdown and forum posting).  The notes are nice, though, IMO.  It also supports integration with my (somewhat new) ScreenSnip app. 
https://github.com/kunkel321/ScreenSnip
You can snip a screenshot, then send it to a sticky note. 


fyi in the repo, "Sticky Notes" has been replaced with "StickyNotes" to avoid name overlap with the Microsoft app.  Hopefully the name change won't mess people up.
