I used it to build a reading time estimator for chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/read-time/nccohhim... and its open source https://github.com/usergit/read-time bonus, you can click on the extension to show only the main content of the page

It works great! I used the Pinboard API to download my bookmarks and used readability to crawl the original text from the source url.
