  • I don’t know specifically of any piece of tech that does this, but it would be very very easy to code as a plugin for a book reader app or something like that. It’d be more difficult to do well in more complicated text or mixed media, like spreadsheets, PDFs, or browser pages, since you probably don’t want every piece of text on the page to have the effect.







  • OsmAnd: This map application is popular enough that it probably doesn’t need mentioning, but good golly is it a powerful tool. Great options for downloading maps and having them offline, and while the car navigation might be missing one or two key features that you’d expect from proprietary alternatives (like live traffic), the sheer amount of detail that has been crowdsourced is mindblowing. There are a wealth of trails and cycle routes, low level details like park benches, bridges, and lookout spots, and the various map profiles you can build are very customizable. I’m personally a huge fan of the trip recording plugin for tracking all my hikes, runs, bike rides, canoe trips, and even swims.
