Hello there, Just to let you know I am bundling your good work on a Windows Store JavaScript app, which is also FOSS. You may see more about it here on github: https://github.com/giggio/QuickRead Although your work is focused on Chrome, it ran almost with no modification as a Windows App, which runs on IE 11. I just finished it and expect it to be online on the store within a week if the certification process goes without any issues. Thanks for the good work. Cheers! Giovanni

Sweet! I'll have to badger a friend with a windows box to let me try it out when it gets released. Thanks for letting us know :+1:

Cool! BTW, is there any chance you could add some events to the project? I understand it does not make much sense for the chrome extension itself, as it is self contained, but for my project it would make a lot of sense to known when some things happen, like when the user closes the widget, or changes speed, etc.

There's now a "config changed" event you can use to detect when the user changes speed and so forth. Use jetzt.config.onChange(cb) (see modules/config.js)

As for other things, I'm not sure. You're right that it doesn't make sense for the chrome extension, but I'm surprised and delighted by the fact that someone is using it as a library! So it would be nice to provide an appropriate API for such use, but it's not high on my list of priorities right now. If you fancy doing the work, I'll gladly pull it. :)

I have been patching the init function, as I can get most of the info from there. I need access to the executor, and it was locked inside the init function. I will evolve it a little more, if I find any interesting points I will submit PR. Thanks for all the support!
