#3How do you use it :)?
2. Go to `chrome://extensions`, toggle `Developer Mode` in the upper right corner and click on `Load unpacked`.
3. Pick the folder from step one and you're good to go.
On any site, you can then click the extension button and text gets "converted", i.e. the first half of a word is bolded (="bionic reading"). The "algorithm" in this extension is:
const length = word.length;
const midPoint = Math.round(length / 2);
const firstHalf = word.slice(0, midPoint);
const secondHalf = word.slice(midPoint);
const htmlWord = `${firstHalf}${secondHalf}`;
return htmlWord;

#7Hello. I have not coded in a while and never chrome extensions. I want to alter the algorithm described in step 3 just a little bit. How do I do that?
Or, you can just let me know the changes here and I can implement them in code :)

#9This is super misleading, this isn't using the actual Bionic Reading API.

How does the behavior of this extension differ from what you'd get using the API?
