Overview

Removing the interface

The brief was to build something people would use for an hour without touching. We cut navigation to a single gesture and moved every setting behind a long press, which left the page itself as the only thing on screen.

Type sizing is the only preference we kept visible. Everything else, including theme and margin, is derived from it, so one decision configures the whole reading surface.
