Have you tried F#? That usually gets a lot of praise in FP discussions.

F# seem to be in abandon-ware state the creator of F# moved to another job as his primary work the forum and community are very dry

Nothing interesting being created in F#

As much as I had high hopes for F# I think its safe at this point, to not pursuit it any further

.Net is C#

If you want an Ocaml like language, that is not Ocaml, your best bet is Rescript and that being said, Rescript is probably more of a competitor to gleam, since gleam also have javascript as a target

What does are you on that brings you these effects? I take 5mg weekly and find the effects mild but appreciable.

I have this same issue. I’ll start reading something and within a few words or sentences I’m in full “skim mode.” Before I know it, my eyes have scanned and hopped all over the page. Then I’ll force myself to start again, only to realize my eyes are reading the words but my brain isn’t actually processing them.

It’s gotten noticeably worse with age, and honestly I think AI has made it even worse. When it spits out huge blocks of text and I’m just trying to find a specific nugget, I default to scanning and skimming. Over time, I think my brain has optimized for that because it hates parsing reams of extraneous text just to get the one thing it’s after.

I also have ADHD-PI… but I’ll give this a shot. Thanks for sharing!

You just described my experience perfectly. the skim mode that kicks in automatically, eyes moving but brain disconnected, forcing yourself to restart only to drift again. It's exhausting.

The AI observation is interesting and I think you're onto something. We're training ourselves to scan for "the answer" buried in walls of text. It's efficient for extraction, terrible for actual reading. Different cognitive modes, and one is cannibalizing the other.

With ADHD-PI in the mix, I'd be really curious to hear if Parsely helps. The one-paragraph-at-a-time approach seems to work well for some ADHD folks, it removes the overwhelming "wall of text" feeling and gives your brain a smaller, more manageable target.

But brains are different, so no promises. Let me know how it goes either way. If it doesn't work for you, I'd genuinely want to understand why. I think it might help me and all the other people who suffers same thing make it better.

Reporting back with some feedback. This extension definitely helps me read through content more thoroughly which is great...so thank you for that. One thing I’d love though is more control over the darkness. Even at the darkest setting, a bit too much still comes through and I find it slightly distracting. A slider that could go all the way to black, letting me fine tune how much is visible would be ideal. That said, I plan to keep using it and it’s effectively replaced reader mode for me!

Really? I thought GitHub and Shopify used it. Hard to imagine billion dollar companies choosing an unserious language to power their businesses.

Huh. Worked great for me on mobile. iOS , latest Safari. And I thought the UX was pretty good too

I don't think it's odd. She's interesting, a great writer, and this was a moving piece. Not everything posted to HN is about orgmode and Rust.

You’ve spammed this comment all over HN.

What’s cutting it for you these days?

lol @ the HTMX link and unexpected return of SSR. We've been talking about that for years at this point, and it's still going on 10 years from now unexpectedly?

I think the positive reception of this product in the comments is down to how well the simplicity aspect of it has been executed. It does one thing and does it simply.
