为什么我开发Moreader这软件

About Jimmy Liang

Known online as "Dianshui Runmu" (Nurturing Wood with Droplets). Here I share candid musings on learning and life, alongside a few quiet, practical digital tools I crafted to solve everyday reading hurdles. Regarding language learning, I believe good tools should be as gentle and unobtrusive as flowing water, and true methods should return to the essence of language itself. And occasionally, some trivial thoughts are jotted down just for the soul.
