Users are praising the site for its ease of use and the ability to access the original articles.
Very, very cool. Hats off. I’ve considered attempting a more limited form of this for years.
Some users have suggested additional features, such as the option to view text and images side by side.
But I would love an option to see the text side by side with the page images. That parallel view would load all of the page images on the same page as the full article text.
