The latest beta of Reeder for macOS is out and it introduces a feature called Bionic Reading.

And this feature is just bananas.

My first look at it was utter puzzlement. I tried it again when I got home and realized that I was scanning an article far more quickly than I normally would.

I hope someone studies Bionic Reading to determine if it works. It would be interesting to measure comprehension/retention using the feature relative to reading speed.

Kudos to the app’s creator, Silvio Rizzi, for taking a chance on something in an RSS reader.
