Cozy

Remove distractions. Save for later.
Cozy is your modern-day reading assistant.


Try the App!

How is this app different?

Here's what this project is building:

1. An app that just works, no sign-ups or set-ups.
2. Progressively enhanced experience. Main feature works even without JS. Removing distractions happen on the server and dead clean HTML gets delivered
3. All your data are cached and does not leave your device; offline access is by default
4. Cloud-sync will be opt-in, with your choice of provider
5. Will also explore smart insights, such as:
   1. text summarization
   2. dominant emotion
   3. other sources for lateral reading

Usage / Options

1. Copy, Paste

It's simple. When you open an article and want to turn it into a more cozy reading experience, just copy the url and paste it to the app's address bar.

2. One-click Bookmark

A bookmarklet could run a script to open the current page for you on Cozy. You can create this new bookmark titled 'Get cozy!' and put the following as value for the URL:

javascript:(function(){ window.open('https://cozy-reader.netlify.app/?url=%27 + window.location.href, %27_self%27); })();

This is possible on all major browsers, including Safari on iOS (where I personally use this often). Some screenshots:

Firefox	Chrome

3. One-click Extension then...

It doesn't exist yet... I'll probably get to creating a browser extension at some point. But for now, PRs welcome! :)
