Hello 👋

I’ve been working on a custom **RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) Speed Reader** integration designed for Discourse platforms. It allows users to upload, manage, and read their e-books or documents (`.pdf`, `.docx`, `.epub`, `.txt`, `.md`) word-by-word at adjustable high speeds (100–900 WPM) with minimal eye fatigue.

### ✨ Key Features & UX

- **Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) Alignment:** Dynamic character highlighting (pivot) locked to the central visual crosshair.

- **Smart Typography & Controls:**

- **Document Library:** User-level document management and reading progress tracking.

### 🚧 Current State & Roadmap

Currently, the plugin is **experimental** and works as a **standalone document/e-book reader** via direct file uploads.

I’m planning the next phase of development:

1. **Forum Topic Integration:** Adding a direct _“Read Topic with RSVP”_ action button for long forum documentations.

Since this is quite a unique feature for a discussion forum, I’d love to ask the community:

- **Does a tool like this make sense for your Discourse communities?** (e.g., book clubs, educational hubs, research groups, or tech/documentation sites?)

I’d really appreciate your feedback, ideas, or suggestions on the UI/UX and feature set!
