Hi!

ReadFast is an application designed to train your speed reading skills and enhance reading experience. You can read more about it here.

Today, I want to show you new graphic user interface I made.
Now, application looks minimalistic and is user-friendly.
To reach that effect, i've used Material Design In XAML Toolkit that you can find here.

Old GUI:

By the way, I added new features:

  • You can change font size of displayed text
  • Read from url. (now you can read posts from steemit!)

  • There is new "Recent" button, that loads latest file with progress.

Thank you! Your contribution has been approved now.

I have to point out though, that there are some quality issues with your repository that you should fix before your next contribution.

  • You have a README.txt in your repository. A README.md is more common. You should also add more details about your project. Here's a good template for a README.md
  • You should add an open source license to your project. Without a valid open source license, your project is, legally speaking, not open source. All rights are reserved to you.
  • For future projects I recommend to start the development using individual commits in Git/GitHub right from the start instead of committing the whole project in one single commit. This makes it easier for us to evaluate the history of a project and for you to maintain your project.
  • It seems you have directories/files in your repository that don't really belong there. The directories bin and obj are for files that are generated during the build process. Such files are temporary and should not be version controlled.
