yeah i can see this being used by a ton of cell phones and basic readers perhaps..

but to actually use it on a site like Nao said, that is designed a certain way for a reason..
makes me wonder if one couldn't limit the ability of it and confine to to Mobile use only..  :whistle: :D

Well, I was a bit bored this evening and didn't want to tackle anything too huge, so I made this as a plugin. I'm not 100% happy about it, because for some reason their JS doesn't play nicely if you do that. Or maybe I'm just tired and doing it wrong, don't know but it never worked properly unless I used their exact code for some reason.[1]

It's really not that exciting but it has all the usual refinements (admin page, etc.) and it's in the plugins SVN repo too.

(Moving to Plugins since it's now officially a plugin :P)

I was against it as a core feature but as a plugin... *shrug* I don't have to use it now, do I? :P

Excellent as always. My only disappointment, their ugly font choice (given NS's original screeny, I have to blame them for the font).

Yeah, their choice of font is pretty crappy, as is the lack of ability (that I could find readily) to handle multiple languages.

Might be worth having a chat with them about it, really, in case it can be done another way.

Go for it, and if they update it, let me know and I'll update my plugin.

Not really, no. I meant the actual font used in the Readability buttons - the buttons themselves use a serif font to display the letters - when everything else is sans-serif.

Though if there's an option to set fonts, that would be useful to know so that it can be added to the plugin.

Ahhhh, I see, it's what you are referring to then, the button per se. Stupid me, stupid old me. :P

Eh, I wasn't exactly that clear either ;) Still a valid question you raised :)
