Updated the reader app again! Finally added auto page turning + reading. Now I can just listen to books on Royalroad or Scribblehub. Any other ebookworms? 📚

Something wasn’t quite right. I cached audio while reading paragraph by paragraph, but if a paragraph was too long, the browser could hit the storage limit and throw a "storage quota exceeded" error. Fixed that in v2.1.1, which also includes improved mobile UI. Such’s dev life! 😄
A user asked for Firefox support on Android, and I thought, “Sure, why not?”
Today, I finally got it running on my Android device using WSL on Windows. Little did I know how much effort it would take to get Android development working in WSL! ☕️👇
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1oihkb9/a_reader_extension_better_than_firefoxs_builtin/
Here’s what I ran into:
1. The ADB proxy in WSL through the Windows host doesn’t work, and web-ext doesn’t support ADB proxy at all.
2. web-ext can’t recognize WSL’s odd folder naming in file paths.
3. Third thing, maybe the most frustrating issue is that most of the documentation for setting up the development flow on Windows is outdated. The screenshots are misleading, the text is conflicting with each other, which made AI chatbots pretty useless in this case.
But long story short, I finally got it working by forking the final build of the add-on to a Windows path and running web-ext directly on Windows to connect to my Android device via ADB. The workflow is still a bit broken, though.
On the design/ui side, I still need to tweak a few settings to make PNL Reader look better on mobile. But it’ll be finished soon. Stay tuned!
This now got me thinking, is it time to abandon Windows, move to Linux instead? What about my precious steam games? I have been in Mac and Windows for too long, haven't really used Linux desktop for many years, what is your suggestion? in terms of like distro, terminal, editor etc.

A reddit user asked for custom font support. Why would I say no? 😄 As a CJK user, I understand the struggle. It’s much cooler to use your own CJK font!🎨 Starting with version 2.3.1, you can now add and manage local fonts. 🚀
