Most people read at roughly the same speed they learned to read as children. Somewhere between 200 and 250 words per minute. That was fine when the volume of text in daily life was manageable. It is less fine when you have 40 browser tabs open, a research paper due, a newsletter backlog, and a technical manual to get through before the end of the week. Readima started from a simple observation: the techniques that speed reading coaches teach in workshops are not complicated, but they require consistent practice and the right environment. A browser extension can provide both.
The first version of Readima focused purely on RSVP. Flash the words, set the pace, build the habit. That worked for some users but not for others. People who read long-form journalism or academic papers found RSVP too disjointed for complex sentence structures. So Meta Guiding was added, then Reading Mode to clean up the page first, then Scan and Skim for people who needed to triage content quickly. Each feature came from a specific gap that users reported. Bionic Reading Mode was added in a later update after several users asked for something that worked passively, without changing their reading posture at all.
