Their choice, not yours.
A reading view your readers turn on themselves. Hides the furniture, widens the measure and remembers the choice, without deciding on anyone behalf.
Reader modes built into browsers work by guessing which part of the page is the article, and they guess wrong often enough to be unreliable on a designed site.
This lets the site say which element is the article, then offers the reader a switch. Nothing is hidden by default and the choice is stored in their own browser.
It is the only toggle on our site anybody uses.
— A magazine developer
A view the reader asks for.
Declared article element
The theme names the article element, so nothing has to be guessed and nothing important is hidden.
Adjustable measure
Three widths and three type sizes, remembered per reader in their own browser.
Opt-in only
Nothing changes until the reader asks. The site never decides that someone wants a stripped view.
Prints what is on screen
Printing from focus mode produces the focused view, not the full page with the furniture back.
The rest of the reading view.
Everything needed so a stripped view is a reader decision rather than a site one.
