Really like it. The only downside is that you have no idea how far along in the article you are. Would be nice if there was a % complete shown somewhere.

You're not the only one ;) In the works!

Also an option to bookmark your position would be great. Some articles are difficult to read in one go!

i'm also using Foxit pdf-to-text feature to upload my pdf ebooks on pastebin and use this to read them.

If you even open this up on github i'll be glad to contribute some features :D

Aw, I made a chrome extension, but this is better :( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/grokfaster/ncjhald...

Don't be sad! Be glad that you're not only seeing opportunity that others find valuable, but you're capable of executing on it :) I've installed your ext, going to give it a whirl and see what I can learn from it. Keep building!

Thanks for the kind words :)
