Guidelines

• Keep changes focused — one feature or fix per PR
• Match the existing code style (TypeScript, functional components, hooks)
• Test on both web (npm run web) and native (npm run ios / npm run android) when relevant
• Do not introduce external analytics, telemetry, or tracking of any kind — user privacy is a core value of this project

Building for Web

npm run build:web   # outputs to ampt-backend/static/

Philosophy

SpeederReader exists to help people read more books. Every design and engineering decision should be evaluated against that goal. Fast to load, easy to use, no friction, no distractions.
