text-reader

Golang program to print text files for reading at normal human speeds

Purpose

To print files with adjustable speed and line wrap so text files can be read from the command line.

While this can be used for "speed reading", the object is just to make the reading experience well-formatted and well-paced. Having shorter line wrap than typical screens makes it easy to eyetrack from one line to the next. And having a steady pace is engaging and keeps you reading.
