The content is nice and insightful! But God I wish people stopped using LLMs to 'improve' their prose... Ironically, some day we might employ LLMs to re-humanize texts that had been already massacred.

To get rid of pointers, you can add

  tonsky.me##div.pointers

to your uBlock Origin's custom filters list.

Sorry, I don't get it. The secret key has to be stored somewhere, right? If it's on the server, the attacker gets it together with the vault. If it's on the client, then you lose your phone → you lose your passwords, which is, while secure, very risky and I wouldn't expect it from a company focused on regular customers.

Imported an EPUB into the app. Really nice typography, so props to you on that!

The internal links seem to be not working, though. I mostly read books with a lot of footnotes, so I won't be able to try it as my daily reading driver right now, but good luck! There's not a single one good reading app out there, so the market is yours to take.
