there's a subtle line on the left that should track vaguely where you are in the paragraph, i added a little easter egg yesterday: if you hold the play button the indicator grows to highlight the lines in the text, so that may help

but in general: noted that it's hard to follow along!

just did the explicit 'read from here' line, to set the watermark precisely (it also controls where the play button starts from)

check it out! let me know what you think

i think i fixed it? let me know

i love that you're using the PWA... i love PWAs, so i added fun stuff like offline support, but i wasn't sure if anyone would find it

Can confirm it has been fixed.

I, too, love PWAs to death and has pretty much dedicated my entire programming life (outside of work) to them. I had a good chuckle when I even saw the screenshots you setup for the installation prompt. Thanks for being part of the crusade :D

oh, i've disliked passwords for my entire career i think:

1. everyone uses the same string

2. if they don't use the same string, they forget which password goes to which site, which is really frustrating

3. if they do use the same string, someone guesses it and the user feels 'hacked'

4. what's up with magic words proving identity anyways?

i personally feel like your computer should know who you are and then pass along that identity to the website, and passkeys get close to this (which i haven't implemented quite yet here)

All of those issues are obviously solved by a password manager. A lot of people use a password manager.

Passkeys are a pretty bad solution as well, because they are supposed to be per-device. What if you use multiple devices (like almost everyone) or want to log in on someone else's device?

Why not offer both passwords and magic links?

yeah right now you have to use browser zoom, but noted!

good news: i already store the word level alignments, i just felt like words lighting up were distracting

i might add this as an option in the future, thanks!

good catch, fixed: orientation: 'any' was meant as 'don't lock the phone' and android treated it the exact opposite. removed it

sadly it may take a bit for your phone to pick up the new manifest, an uninstall and reinstall might fix it

Thanks for the quick fix.

Great work, btw. I'm going to immensely enjoy this app :D

thanks! i really appreciate that you get it: 'whispersync for the open web' is a really great description, i might use it ;-)

awww thanks, you get it

noted for next time: the great fiction deserves something, we may not

it follows your browser/device preference, but noted that a manual override would be a useful setting!

shipped! look for a sun/moon icon near the tale.fyi title at the top
