Reading Time Calculator
fun
Tiny calculator to see how long an audiobook will actually take.
I am tired of googling “Reading time calculator” every time I want to do the (admittedly very simple) math to determine how long an audiobook will take at a certain speed. Plus, I’ve been interested in learning a bit more HTML-y things. Why not combine these two tasks into my own reading calculator?
