Woah. When I last (tried to) start reading Ulysees, almost a year ago, I thought about this: An online "book club", allowing users to join in reading classics and participate in discussions on top of the text. That would have certainly helped me continue reading the book. Eventually I put the book back on the shelf, and wrote down the idea in my ~/ideas.md.
Your 'read' page [1] is exactly as I pictured it. Looks like an interesting, important effort. Kudos!

> The one unconventional suggestion is the idea of a correspondence between the characters of the source text and the HTML text.
Did you get a chance to check out fellow HN homepage link Paperman [1][2]? It offers exactly what you propose: Double-clicking on the results frame highlights the relevant line in the source, and vice versa. This could easily be adapted to match your suggestion.

This seems to correlate to a Hebrew expression "buying a cat in a sack", meaning taking something without confirming its quality.
Indeed, same legend is presented as the source for this expression as well.

Someone whose stock property ("paper") can be valued as > $1M, i.e. If they sell their TWTR stocks now they will be 'actual' cash millionaires.

I use it combined with a hyper key mapping (similar to OP) and enjoy it very much.

The sea of useless social buttons and links made it impossible for me to read this on a phone. I hate it when blogs do that.

Not totally unintentional, since it was created by a website dedicated to app discovery... But yeah, I discovered some new interesting apps myself :)
