Pericles page focus on FCC challenges

Hi!
I've been using Pericles to read the freeCodeCamp challenges. On some of the pages were automatically starting at the step number and reading the instructions immediately without going through any unnecessary menus.
But, in some other pages the extension starts at the Donate button at the top right corner of the page.
So, I contacted FCC about the issue and it turned out that it wasn't an issue with their website.
Actually I don't have any idea about how the extension focus works.
So, please give this page a visit and try the extension using a desktop chrome browser.
I'd appreciate it if you fix this issue.

Your extension messes up web sites

I've had the strangest issue for months. Every time I edit a WordPress site with a WYSIWYG text block editor, this code is always added at the end:

<iframe id="_pericles_content_iframe" style="position: absolute; top: -99px; left: 0px; width: 50px; height: 26px; background: transparent; overflow: visible; margin-top: -30px; transition: top 2s ease-in-out 0s; z-index: 2147483647; border: none; padding: 0px;"></iframe>

Finally figured out it was this browser extension that has been causing me havoc. Why does it do this?

Reader won't Load

Hello! I just downloaded your extension about a half hour ago, and whenever I try to hit play, it says "Something went wrong!" and won't load. I tried reloading the page, reinstalling the extension, and checking my internet connection, but none of that worked. I'm wondering if there's a setting I'm missing, or a permission I need to give the app? In any case, I hope you can help.

Restarting, Not Starting, Hot Keys Not Working

When I use this extension and pause it, it restarts from the beginning of the book/article and I have to skip through a tons of text. It won't start from where I ask it to when I right click or click. On top of that, even when I do manage to skip through the text to where I left off at, most of the time it doesn't play and will even restart AGAIN too. Its great, if you never have to pause it. It's basically unusable and I'm very frustrated.

Pericles skipping some content

Hi,

Pericles is skipping some content that is present on the screen. Are there any attributes I can add to those skipped HTML elements so that they can be read out by Pericles? (if not, what could be a fix for this problem?)

Thanks a lot for making this app,

Esteban
