Show HN: Bionic Reading – Formats text to make it faster to read
Cool, here&#x27;s a quick hack to try a similar technique with the comments in this thread (copy and paste into dev tools:<p><pre><code>    $$(&#x27;span.commtext&#x27;).forEach(span =&gt; {
        const frag = document.createDocumentFragment();
        span.textContent.split(&#x2F;\s+&#x2F;).forEach(word =&gt; {
          const len = Math.ceil(word.length * 0.3);
          const leading = document.createElement(&#x27;strong&#x27;);
          leading.textContent = word.slice(0, len);
          const trailing = document.createTextNode(word.slice(len) + &#x27; &#x27;);
          frag.appendChild(leading);
          frag.appendChild(trailing);
        });
        span.parentNode.replaceChild(frag, span);
    })</code></pre>
