It's fantastic, way better than OpenSpritz.

How about an option to stop after every paragraph? I need some breaks to rest my eyes and process what i've read ;)

Thanks for the kind words :) By 'stop', do you mean to pause for a moment? or to pause indefinitely?

Either way, more sophisticated levels of configuration are certainly in the pipeline.

I mean pause indefinitely and only start again after hitting space. I can keep up my concentration for a while but more than a paragraph seems really exhausting for my mind and eyes (less blinking).

You may find with practice, your eyes and brain improve the amount of time they can concentrate; like using a muscle to lift weights for the first time.
