Closed Happy1979 closed 2 years ago

Happy1979 commented 2 years ago

The very first version of Jiffyreader which was label Bionic Reading 0.0.1 the Inspect views shows up as service worker. This version works with Google Books per page in a weird way, so hoping you can get this to work better. So here is how I get this to work on chrome browser or chromium I am using developer mode is enable and Load unpacked file. Then open any of my google books through webapp play,google.com Next pin app so I can access app extension easier Next select Toggle Reading Mode After that Bionic Reading works fine, then I can not get the next page to load. To get the next page to load, I have turn off the Toggle Reading mode and refresh the webpage, then I can load the next page. I have to repeat this for each page to get Bionic Reading to work. I have try all the other version and no other them work like this one. I can supply whatever you need to help with this

@Happy1979 here is the release that works with google books. It is quite old so not actively maintained or maintained.

You can download the zip then open the extensions page in chrome and use the load unpack to navigate to the extracted copy of the zip and choosing the manifest file.
