Thanks for the post, this is very nice. While I am not switching browsers yet, this is looking very promising, and so far I love the direction you are taking with this.
Incidentally, discovered your reader app[0] thanks to this post, and it looks exactly like what I've been looking for for quite a while. And the fact that it is on macOS as well is a very welcome cherry on top.
Haha that proves my reach has been extremely bad: I released the reader's v1 four years and half ago :) Thanks a lot though! I've got a few ideas on how to make the browser and reader work together smoothly.
To be fair, I am not sure it was your perceived lack of reach in my specific case. I simply got burned out on trying to use reader apps, given there are so many of them out there, all just not feeling quite right to me at the end of the day (similar to how there are bajillion different todo apps of all kinds and sizes).
So it isn't like i had some specific set of requirements that i was looking for in a reader app and was actively searching for it. It was more of a case of "i don't know what i actually want until i see it, and i gave up on actively searching for it". Tastefully opinionated defaults and workflows draw me in, can't argue with that.
Realistically, no matter how wide your reach could've been, I probably wouldn't have noticed the app unless I saw an HN thread about it like this one. That's a datapoint of one though.
