Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of READR — and I built it because I was genuinely fed up. I spend a lot of time reading online. Research papers, long-form articles, newsletters. And every single one comes wrapped in the same nonsense: cookie banners, sidebar ads, autoplaying videos, popups asking me to subscribe before I've read a single sentence. Chrome has a built-in reader mode. But it only works on some sites, and you can't customise it, and it definitely can't export a PDF. Firefox has a better one, but I'm a Chrome user. So I built READR. One click. Any site. Clean reading view. It uses Mozilla's Readability engine (the same one Firefox uses) so it works on almost everything — Medium, Substack, news sites, academic papers, random blogs. You get: ✦ Dark and light themes ✦ Font size control ✦ Adjustable line width ✦ PDF export (Pro) ✦ Auto-open on sites you choose (Pro) Free to use. Pro is a one-time payment — no subscription, ever. 🎁 Product Hunt exclusive: 50% off Pro today Use code PRODUCTHUNT at checkout — $9.99 instead of $19.99. Code expires in 48 hours. 👉 Install free: https://chromewebstore.google.co... I'd love your honest feedback. What sites does it work well on? Where does it break? What would make you actually use this every day? Ask me anything 👇
