feat: Make reading_time a first class citizen #129

Closed julianrubisch closed 4 years ago

julianrubisch commented 4 years ago

Summary

Provide a reading_time liquid filter (https://www.bridgetownrb.com/docs/liquid/filters)

Motivation

Reading time is nowadays displayed for most blog sites out there. One could argue that this should be made a plugin (maybe?), but according to the "backpack analogy", I was thinking, maybe this could be provided out of the box.

Feel free to close if this is out of scope :-)

@julianrubisch I'm cool with it if there's a generally agreed-upon standard for measuring words * time. Obviously different people have widely-varying reading speeds, plus different languages will vary as well. If we can take advantage of prior art here, that'd be great.

Most Jekyll plugins allow to configure words per minute. I’ve read 180 and 200 as a reference count
