TL;DR: I developed and launched Readeon, a Chrome/Firefox extension designed to enhance the reading experience on Patreon, making it similar to popular reading sites. For more details, visit the Readeon site. I'm also working on an author-focused extension for Patreon to address key challenges, such as tier-specific post scheduling. You can find more information about this by clicking on this link.
You ever seen Shirtaloon look so beautiful in Patreon? No?
Well, I certainly have! For the past 2.5 months, I've been working on a Patreon based reading extension staring at my screen day after day, hoping the code would magically write itself—and somehow, this is what came out of it.
Believe me, seeing the end result almost made the trauma of my past Patreon experiences vanish. ALMOST.
Now, jokes aside, as you all know, reading on Patreon after experiencing an actual reading website is like moving from a luxury penthouse to a leaky tent under a bridge.
Everything about reading on Patreon sucks: there's no post navigation, no reader preferences settings, no full screen views, no way to save last read posts, and the list goes on and on.
Simply put, Patreon was not designed with readers in mind. But despite that, thousands of readers continue to support the stories and authors they love on that damn site.
So, as a developer and reader myself, I have developed a Chrome/Firefox extension called Readeon, which completely transforms the look of the Patreon website to be similar to an actual reading website.
How does it do it? Well, the chrome/firefox extension summary blurb, says it pretty well:
Readeon improves the Patreon reading experience through these features:

I am also currently working on an author-based Patreon extension to solve key issues like post scheduling between tiers. You can get more details by clicking here.
Cheers!

Readeon improves the Patreon reading experience through these features:
- Download posts in EPUB, PDF, TXT, DOC, or DOCX
- Reading preferences settings (change font size/style, add background coloring, etc.)
- Improved navigation between posts (through a table of contents like look)
- Full screen view for posts
- Make edit suggestions in posts
- Saving last read posts
- And more…
