About Reader's Block

A productivity blocker for aspiring readers. Every time you navigate to a blocked site, Reader's Block will redirect you to something you've added to your reading list. You'll finally be motivated to read all those newsletters and articles you never get around to. NOTE: Reader's Block is still in development. Email readersblock.extension@gmail.com for any bugs or feature requests you might have.
