Readrrr - Focus Reader

Clearly vibe coded app copy of the open source RSVP Nano. I’m sure the prompt engineer downloaded the open source files for the original, slapped it into codex and asked it to make an IOS app copy of the software. The app shows all the hallmarks of a vibe coded app like inconsistent fonts and unpolished finish (especially for an app so simple), and the fact that it makes no reference to the product it clearly copied every aspect of their app from and immediately tries to charge you $40 out of the gate to use it makes this a low effort cash grab by the developer. Go support the original RSVP nano project by John Decebal instead of this AI generated junk.

Most of the different AI apps or services that I use are about convincing myself that I’m making progress learning something or making me feel like I’m gathering information but not really progressing towards learning. This app is not a replacement for reading. It is an evolution of how best to ingest information in multiple ways. You can still print off the PDF of the document that you plugged into this app, but your investing in different ways of learning going through a printed document with a highlighter and red pen is good and you should do that if it’s important information that you need to understand, but this is another layer on top of it. This is another way to make it easier to stimulate your brain for information. That’s pretty impressive.

The app is great and meet my expectations to a certain degree, when I upload a E pub, the chapters are being incorrectly uploaded. Instead of showing chapter 1 shows some other number, I think it’s counting introductions, prefaces as chapter as well.
