there's a subtle line on the left that should track vaguely where you are in the paragraph, i added a little easter egg yesterday: if you hold the play button the indicator grows to highlight the lines in the text, so that may help

but in general: noted that it's hard to follow along!

just did the explicit 'read from here' line, to set the watermark precisely (it also controls where the play button starts from)

check it out! let me know what you think

i love that you're using the PWA... i love PWAs, so i added fun stuff like offline support, but i wasn't sure if anyone would find it

good news: i already store the word level alignments, i just felt like words lighting up were distracting

i might add this as an option in the future, thanks!
