ReadKinetic: Free Local‑First Speed Reader for Personal Books (Show HN)

ReadKinetic is introduced as a free application for speed reading. It is designed to work locally on the user’s device. The local‑first approach means no data is sent to external servers. Users can load their own e‑books or PDFs into the app. The tool displays text in a rapid serial visual presentation format. This format aims to increase reading speed while maintaining comprehension. Because it runs offline, privacy‑conscious readers can use it without internet. The project is shared on Hacker News for community feedback and testing.
