About

Linearead Chrome Extension
A high-performance "Sliding Focus" text reader that eliminates the cognitive load of the "Return Sweep." Linearead keeps your gaze fixed at a stable eye level by reflowing text dynamically around a moving blank row (the Gap).

Features
The One Gap Model: A single blank row separates read text from unread text.
Dynamic Reflow: Text moves upward into the buffer as you swipe horizontally, eliminating the need for your eyes to travel back to the left margin.
Smart Injection: Works on any website (Wikipedia, news sites, blogs) by clicking the extension icon. No page refresh required after installation.
Status Indicator: An "ON" badge appears on the extension icon when the reader is active in the current tab.
Strict Marker: A small black triangle tracks your exact reading position.
Zero-Latency: Built on @chenglou/pretext for sub-pixel accurate layout without layout thrashing.
