    I’m looking for a builder plugin that actually supports reader view (available on Safari & FireFox browsers). Reader view makes websites far easier to read for people with disabilities (or just people with headaches).

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi there,

    I just looked into what exactly makes Reader View work automatically. It seems these browsers search for <p> elements on your site and grab the content from them.

    This is a good answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40747529

    I am seeing that Reader View isn’t available on our own website. I’m going to have to play around with that to see if there’s a specific reason why. My guess is that we don’t have enough paragraphs one after another – they’re all split up into sections.

    If you build a page that’s mostly content with some blocks added, is Reader View available?

    Hi Tom, well I went ahead and gave it a try since my old homepage was not remotely compatible with reader view.

    My new page with GenerateBlocks is now pretty decent on reader view for Safari: https://www.anphira.com/

    Thanks for testing it! Makes sense – if the text on the page is separated into columns and doesn’t read like an article, it seems reader view won’t interpret it as such.
