Melo vs Blubb Reader

Melo is an EPUB reader that responds to the story you're reading. As you read, Melo scores the emotional tone of each paragraph on your device and gently shifts the background colour to match: cooler tones for sorrow and tension, warmer tones for joy and calm. A small reading companion changes expression alongside the text, and a timeline beside the text traces the chapter's emotional arc. Fog of War Protection keeps the part you haven't read yet greyed out, so the timeline never gives away what's coming.
