Ask HN: Will bionic-reading crush my project if I use it?

1 pointsby nik5about 2 years ago
Hi, a while ago I created this project called [kindle-send](github.com&#x2F;nikhil1raghav&#x2F;kindle-send) which can send webpages and other docs as epubs to your ereader.<p>I saw [bionic-reading](https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bionic-reading.com) on HN. I understand it is pretty easy to replicate by making ceil(len&#x2F;2) letters bold. That&#x27;s why they filed for a patent.<p>Now I want to add a flag in my project which will do the same thing to documents before sending them, but I&#x27;m uncertain about legal implications.<p>Should a simple thing like this even be granted a patent?

Do a similar thing but only for consonants.
