// ====================
// The purpose of this project is to
// make a reader so that I can read
// novels even faster than my already
// amazing speed.(200k words/day) to (300k words/day)
//
// Rsearch objective:
// Terminal: RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation)
//
// Project Name: fastAsFKReader(FAFK)
// Author : Aakarsh Kashyap
// [ 2026-06-17 ]
// ====================

// Steps
//
// 1. Get to the raw mode
// 2. Get cursor to center of the terminal
// 3. Parse the whole file into the memory and save it into a vector
// of strings.
// 4. Figure out the central letter of the string
// 5. Print that word with the central letter coloured
// 6. We will take a timer args which will make word rendering fast or slow but
// it's fine for now
// 7. The size of the word is smt dependent on user terminal zoomin we will not
// try to render bigger font or anything
// 8. End of the program.

/* CONCLUSION */
// Experiment have failed. I do not see any particular increase int my
// reading speed, infact it has become difficult to
// keep previous context in mind
// There must be something else going on in that reel
// I will try to ask about it from sei or shashy maybe there is a
// better way
