Similar to posts on Medium, there's a read time on each article, allowing users to gauge how long it takes to finish the article. Medium's read time is based on roughly 275 WPM, with time included for images, as shown here.
My implementation for this is only for 180 WPM, without accounting for images. If this is something you might like I can definitely work on it and add a more sophisticated counter for images!
As of now it's implemented in posts, and can be turned on using
readtime : trueon a per-post setting.I'll be using this in my blog at leewc.com, so I thought I'd work on it here for a Pull request if you're interested. Many thanks for the awesome theme!
There's also the
fa bookmark-ostyled icon if you prefer. I tried both and it seems the filled one looks better, but I don't particularly have an eye for design :P
