  • The page is the article extracted from the website: menus, footers, ads and cookie walls are dropped before you see them. What is left is drawn with formatting — headings, lists, tables, code blocks.
  • The scrollbar on the right shows where you are. It moves smoothly while you scroll.
  • The rule over the page is a braille line: the reader’s signature.
  • The footer has your most useful shortcuts on the left and your reading progress on the right. It adapts to the window: a narrow window shows fewer shortcuts, and a very short one drops the rule above it.
  • Small notes appear next to the progress when they matter:

  • Notices such as ✓ copied 57 characters replace the shortcuts for about a second and disappear the moment you press a key or click.
  • Everything is drawn with your terminal’s 16 colors, so wr matches your theme. The accent color (panels, keys, marks, bars, and the color the headings walk) is changed in Settings, and it has a partner color for the secondary highlights (the light end of the footer rule, the search count and the focused link).
