Why it surfaced
Readr treats the abandoned reading list as a design problem, offering searchable highlights, bookmarks, text-to-speech, and adjustable typography rather than another endless queue. Its most concrete wrinkle is a Chrome extension that clips pages when Readr's server cannot fetch them, including paywalled or bot-blocked pages.
