Thank you!

Okay, that's fair. It isn't that many, but it's still 10x more than the industry leader, Blinkist, though. A good start. As a small company, we currently need to sacrifice the firs…

I have mixed feelings. I generally agree—the industry tends to incentivize writers to fill a certain amount of space, much like college essays. However, there are quite a few books…

OP here—happy to answer any questions! We’ve been working really hard since writing the first line of code 4 months ago.

Ah, that must be because of the render in the background. Maybe we should turn that off.

Oh, interesting. What browser are you using? I'm able to set to 0.

OP here. Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, those are some pretty tough sentences (obviously not in the dataset). The tongue twister one is really interesting.

OP here. The more you use, the cheaper it gets. But if you're not using much, there isn't any cost-saving benefits. Once you scale to ~60M characters per month, it's 50% cheaper. I…
