Typical Sunday evening release! 💥

User: OMG, I love #Dictionariez! Please add Turkish support!
Me: Done! v6.2.0 adds Turkish 🇹🇷 and Arabic 🇸🇦 (noticed you’re learning that too 🚀). Live on Firefox, Chrome & Edge are still reviewing🐢🕰️

Look up Bluesky on YouTube, it’s wild how many sloppy AI videos are bashing it.

☕Meet Mona and Bob, slightly older but sexier voices in new V2.5.0 of #PNLReader. This version also has smoother transitions between paragraphs during continuous reading. Now you can really read a long article on any website.

📱💻Responsive design is a basic requirement nowadays. I designed PNL Reader to be that way as well. Am I doing it right? 🤔

A reddit user asked for custom font support. Why would I say no? 😄 As a CJK user, I understand the struggle. It’s much cooler to use your own CJK font!🎨 Starting with version 2.3.1, you can now add and manage local fonts. 🚀

Updated the reader app again! Finally added auto page turning + reading. Now I can just listen to books on Royalroad or Scribblehub. Any other ebookworms? 📚

Here is a better one to show the whole picture of it. It's probably the best Reader Mode extension for language learners, but if you just like reading casually on the bewildering Internet, who wouldn't love a paper-like background for long read or near-human AI speech to read them aloud, right?

It’s live on Chrome now, that’s lightning-fast for Google. I think they might be using AI to review extensions, but I can’t be sure.

🚀 The new PNL Reader with text-to-speech is now available on Firefox! (It’s still under review on Chrome.) It's designed for language learners. You can choose to read quietly or listen with text-to-speech.

📖 Try it first on Firefox: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...

Yep, Google’s dictionary is more popular. But when users say Dictionariez is better, that’s like your indie band outselling Taylor Swift for a day. 😏📖🎯

Found another example on the Chrome Web Store.
User reports an issue → I fix it instantly.
But that missing star? That hole in the 5-star strip… it never heals. 😭☆ #indiedev #webdev #coding

User: “Found a bug, 3/5 stars.”
Me: sprints to computer, sweating, deploys patch at light speed
Also me: “Please sir, may I have that extra two stars now?” 🥲✨ Thankfully v6.1.0 is already live.
