Frequently asked questions
Where do the quotes come from?
They are short lines from long-established authors and proverbs, such as Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Confucius, Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain. They are built into the page, so nothing is fetched while it runs.
Can I keep one quote on screen?
Yes. Press Pause (or Space) and the current quote stays until you resume or press an arrow.
Will it read well on a TV?
Yes. The text scales with the screen and stays within a comfortable line length, so it is readable from across a room in fullscreen.
Does it keep the screen awake?
In fullscreen on supported browsers, a screen wake lock stops the display from sleeping.
