Viability

I see that the app has not been updated inence July, 2021. Is it still being supported?

The app is still being supported. Version 1.9.0 was uploaded in May 2022 (see the "Overview" tab), and some work is being done behind the scenes in preparation of Chrome's techical changes this year. However, the extent of updates relies on donations from users.

If your extension has not been automatically updated, I recommend going into Chrome's options and clicking "More tools" -> "Extensions" -> "Update"

Font size

This is a terrific extension that I just started to use. But as others have suggested, some of us old guys have trouble reading the small font. It would be wonderful if we could enlarge it.

Larger font coming up in version 1.8.0, courtesy of collective requests and donations.

Summary is cut off on right side

Every time I use the extension, the right side of the summary cuts off the end of each line. I thought it might be because my screen zoom is set at 25%, but it does this even with the zoom set to 100%. Any suggestions?

Hello Wayne, Thank you for reporting this issue. Changing Chrome's page zoom (settings -> appearance -> page zoom) does obscure the text on the right-hand size, but then a horizontal scrollbar is also shown. If something else were amiss with the automatic scrollbars, clicking and dragging across the text to the right may make the text scroll into view. The code I'm using for automatic scrollbars is supported in Chrome 4.0 and over however. Neither screen zoom nor browser scale (ctrl + and ctrl -) nor window size or browser font size affect the text clipping.

Custom Text Summary

Instead of full page text, can you give an option to copy-paste some text and then summarize it?

That would require clipboard access permissions from the user. I do not intend to add this function to the extension, sorry. However, I have seen at least three other summarization extensions that do offer this functionality.
