NodCast, a text-based article reader and manager

NodCast

NodCast is a keyboard-driven, text-based reading platform designed for focused, distraction-free engagement with articles and scientific papers. It introduces a novel method for reading and writing by allowing readers to interact with text through short written signals called nods, track comprehension, and flag ambiguous or challenging sections.

Articles can be annotated dynamically, and your interactions provide feedback for understanding and coherence, helping both readers and writers improve the reading experience.
