does this sound like you?
"I'll read this when I have time"
See long article. Bookmark it. Never open again.
"This looks like too much work"
Wall of text. Feels overwhelming. Close immediately.
"Maybe later when I'm more focused"
I'm too tired right now. Wait for perfect moment. Never comes.
You're not broken. Reading just feels hard right now.
The right tool can make it easy and fun.
so I built this chrome extension that:
finally finish that article you've had open for 3 weeks
listen while cooking, walking, or doing literally anything else
actually remember what you read last week
no more "wait, what was that article about?" moments
turn dead time into learning time
commute = podcast, gym = knowledge, dishes = growth
the real story behind FlowRead
why this matters more than just another app
💔 Age 5: "You're just not a reader, Elliott"
Teachers were kind, but the damage was done. I believed I was broken.
🤯 Age 20: Finally finished my first real book
Holy shit. This information could change my life. Why didn't anyone tell me reading was a superpower?
😤 3 weeks ago: Staring at my computer, defeated
Brain dead after gym. Documents mocking me. "What if this thing could just READ TO me?"
🎮 Plot twist: I wasn't broken. The system was.
FlowRead = the power-up you never knew you needed. Time to level up.
