Reading mode requests

I wanted to thank you guys for adding reading mode to mobile. It works perfectly and honestly Language Reactor is the best app for reading in, so thanks. I had some more requests that I hope would fit well.

  1. I love importing articles into Language Reactor using the context menu option in chrome, but it’s not really possible on mobile. Would it be possible to just let us copy-paste a link into the app and do the import that way? Now that we can save different texts, I suppose I could just go get a bunch of articles on desktop and save them to read later on mobile, but it might be nice to be able to import from mobile anyway.

  2. I would love to be able to import an entire pdf into Language Reactor. Currently, my workflow is to go to my pdf reader app, copy a page at a time, and paste it into LR. I can copy multiple at a time from desktop, but the formatting gets all messed up and it doesn’t track pages well.

  3. Just a note on formatting, in general it does not play very well with Spanish dialogue. Spanish dialogue uses a lot of em-dashes and things get broken up in weird places. Occasionally I have to refer back to my pdf just to see who is saying what. Not a big deal, though.

  4. On the word list for a document or a show, if you save a word it’ll be saved without a context phrase. I’d like to just go through the word list and save a whole bunch to export to anki, but without context it isn’t very useful.

I don’t know if any of that is doable, but anyway thanks again for the all of the improvements. Love this app, you guys are great.
