## ✨ Feature Specifications

### 1. Dimming/Masking Surrounding Text
**Description:** Reduce visual clutter by dimming text that isn't currently in focus.

**Modes:**
- **Paragraph Spotlight**: Highlight only the current paragraph
- **Sentence Spotlight**: Highlight only the current sentence
- **Verse Spotlight**: Highlight only the current verse
- **Custom Range**: Highlight N lines above and below cursor

**Implementation Details:**
```typescript
interface DimmingConfig {
  enabled: boolean
  mode: 'paragraph' | 'sentence' | 'verse' | 'custom'
  intensity: number // 0-100% opacity for dimmed text
  customLinesAbove: number
  customLinesBelow: number
  blurAmount: number // 0-10px blur for dimmed text
}
```

**Visual Behavior:**
- Active text: 100% opacity, sharp
- Dimmed text: 20-60% opacity (user adjustable)
- Optional: 0-5px blur on dimmed text
- Smooth transitions (300ms) when focus changes

---

### 2. Guided Reading Line
**Description:** A horizontal line or overlay that follows the user's reading position.

**Types:**
- **Static Line**: Fixed position on screen, text scrolls beneath
- **Following Line**: Moves with scroll to track reading position
- **Reading Ruler**: Semi-transparent bar that highlights current line
- **Dual Lines**: Top and bottom lines create a reading window

**Implementation Details:**
```typescript
interface ReadingLineConfig {
  enabled: boolean
  type: 'static' | 'following' | 'ruler' | 'dual'
  position: number // 0-100% from top of viewport
  color: string
  thickness: number // 1-5px
  opacity: number // 0-100%
  windowHeight: number // For ruler/dual mode (lines of text)
}
```

**Visual Examples:**
```
Static Line (position: 33%):
┌─────────────────┐
│ verse text...   │
│ verse text...   │
├═════════════════┤ ← Reading line
│ verse text...   │
│ verse text...   │
└─────────────────┘

Reading Ruler:
┌─────────────────┐
│ verse text...   │
┌═════════════════┐ ← Top border
│█ verse text... █│ ← Highlighted
└═════════════════┘ ← Bottom border
│ verse text...   │
└─────────────────┘
```

  // Bold first 40-60% of letters
  const boldCount = Math.ceil(length * 0.5)
  const bold = word.substring(0, boldCount)
  const regular = word.substring(boldCount)

  return `<strong>${bold}</strong>${regular}`
}

// Example:
// "reading" → "<strong>read</strong>ing"
// "Bible" → "<strong>Bib</strong>le"
```

## 🎨 UI/UX Design

### Settings Panel Location
Add "Focus Mode" tab to existing Reading Settings panel:

```
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ Reading Settings        │
├─────────────────────────┤
│ ▸ Typography            │
│ ▸ Theme                 │
│ ▾ Focus Mode ← NEW      │
│   ├─ Dimming            │
│   ├─ Reading Line       │
│   ├─ Spotlight          │
│   ├─ Auto-Scroll        │
│   ├─ Bionic Reading     │
│   ├─ Sentence Mode      │
│   └─ Breathing Reminders│
└─────────────────────────┘
```

### Controls UI
```typescript
// Focus Mode Quick Toggle Bar
<Box className="focus-mode-controls">
  <IconButton
    title="Enable Focus Mode"
    onClick={toggleFocusMode}
  >
    <VisibilityIcon />
  </IconButton>

  {focusModeEnabled && (
    <>
      <Divider orientation="vertical" />

      {/* Dimming Toggle */}
      <ToggleButton value="dimming" selected={dimming.enabled}>
        <OpacityIcon />
      </ToggleButton>

      {/* Reading Line Toggle */}
      <ToggleButton value="line" selected={readingLine.enabled}>
        <LinearScaleIcon />
      </ToggleButton>

      {/* Auto-Scroll */}
      <ToggleButton value="scroll" selected={autoScroll.enabled}>
        <PlayArrowIcon />
      </ToggleButton>

      {/* Speed Control (when auto-scroll active) */}
      {autoScroll.enabled && (
        <>
          <IconButton size="small" onClick={decreaseSpeed}>
            <RemoveIcon />
          </IconButton>
          <Typography variant="caption">
            {autoScroll.wordsPerMinute} WPM
          </Typography>
          <IconButton size="small" onClick={increaseSpeed}>
            <AddIcon />
          </IconButton>
        </>
      )}

      {/* Settings Menu */}
      <IconButton onClick={openFocusSettings}>
        <SettingsIcon />
      </IconButton>
    </>
  )}
</Box>
```

### Mobile Considerations
- Floating toolbar (bottom of screen)
- Swipe gestures:
  - Swipe up: Show settings
  - Swipe down: Hide controls
  - Pinch: Adjust dimming intensity
- Touch and hold: Quick access to reading line

  return (
    <FocusModeContext.Provider value={{ /* ... */ }}>
      {children}
    </FocusModeContext.Provider>
  )
}
```

### Dimming Implementation
```typescript
// DimmingOverlay.tsx
export const DimmingOverlay: React.FC = () => {
  const { dimming, currentElement } = useFocusMode()
  const [activeRangeIds, setActiveRangeIds] = useState<string[]>([])

  useEffect(() => {
    if (!dimming.enabled || !currentElement) return

    // Determine which elements to keep visible

          return [findCurrentSentence(currentElement)]

        case 'verse':
          return [currentElement.closest('.verse')?.id]

        case 'custom':

    verses.forEach(verse => {
      if (activeRangeIds.includes(verse.id)) {
        verse.classList.remove('dimmed')

  return null // Pure effect component
}

// CSS
.verse {
  transition: opacity 0.3s ease, filter 0.3s ease;
}

.verse.dimmed {
  opacity: var(--dimming-opacity);
  filter: blur(var(--dimming-blur));
}

.verse.active {
  opacity: 1;
  filter: none;
}
```

### Reading Line Implementation
```typescript
// ReadingLine.tsx
export const ReadingLine: React.FC = () => {
  const { readingLine } = useFocusMode()
  const [position, setPosition] = useState(0)
  const lineRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null)

  useEffect(() => {
    if (!readingLine.enabled) return

    if (readingLine.type === 'static') {
      // Fixed position on screen
      setPosition(readingLine.position)
    } else if (readingLine.type === 'following') {
      // Follow scroll position
      const handleScroll = () => {
        const scrollY = window.scrollY
        const viewportHeight = window.innerHeight
        const linePosition = scrollY + (viewportHeight * readingLine.position / 100)
        setPosition(linePosition)
      }

      window.addEventListener('scroll', handleScroll, { passive: true })
      return () => window.removeEventListener('scroll', handleScroll)
    }
  }, [readingLine])

  if (!readingLine.enabled) return null

  const styles = {
    position: readingLine.type === 'static' ? 'fixed' : 'absolute',
    top: readingLine.type === 'static'
      ? `${readingLine.position}%`
      : `${position}px`,
    left: 0,
    right: 0,
    height: `${readingLine.thickness}px`,
    backgroundColor: readingLine.color,
    opacity: readingLine.opacity / 100,
    zIndex: 1000,
    pointerEvents: 'none',
    transition: 'top 0.1s ease-out'
  }

  return <div ref={lineRef} style={styles} className="reading-line" />
}
```

### Auto-Scroll Implementation
```typescript
// useAutoScroll.ts
export const useAutoScroll = (config: AutoScrollConfig) => {
  const [isActive, setIsActive] = useState(false)
  const intervalRef = useRef<NodeJS.Timeout | null>(null)

  const calculateScrollAmount = () => {
    // Average word length: 5 characters
    // Average line: 60-80 characters = 12-16 words
    // Assume 14 words per line on average
    const wordsPerLine = 14
    const linesPerMinute = config.wordsPerMinute / wordsPerLine
    const pixelsPerLine = 24 // line height
    const pixelsPerMinute = linesPerMinute * pixelsPerLine
    const pixelsPerInterval = pixelsPerMinute / (60000 / 50) // 50ms intervals

    return pixelsPerInterval
  }

  const start = () => {
    if (intervalRef.current) return

    setIsActive(true)
    const scrollAmount = calculateScrollAmount()

    intervalRef.current = setInterval(() => {
      window.scrollBy({
        top: scrollAmount,
        behavior: config.smoothness === 'linear' ? 'auto' : 'smooth'
      })

      // Check if at bottom
      const atBottom = (window.innerHeight + window.scrollY) >= document.body.offsetHeight
      if (atBottom && config.pauseAtChapterEnd) {
        pause()
      }
    }, 50) // 20 FPS
  }

  const pause = () => {
    if (intervalRef.current) {
      clearInterval(intervalRef.current)
      intervalRef.current = null
    }
    setIsActive(false)
  }

  const adjustSpeed = (delta: number) => {
    const newSpeed = Math.max(10, Math.min(300, config.wordsPerMinute + delta))
    // Update config through context
  }

  // Keyboard shortcuts
  useEffect(() => {
    const handleKeyDown = (e: KeyboardEvent) => {
      if (e.code === 'Space' && config.enabled) {
        e.preventDefault()
        isActive ? pause() : start()
      } else if (e.code === 'ArrowUp' && isActive) {
        e.preventDefault()
        adjustSpeed(10)
      } else if (e.code === 'ArrowDown' && isActive) {
        e.preventDefault()
        adjustSpeed(-10)
      } else if (e.code === 'Escape' && isActive) {
        pause()
      }
    }

    window.addEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown)
    return () => window.removeEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown)
  }, [isActive, config.enabled])

  return { isActive, start, pause, adjustSpeed }
}
```

### Bionic Reading Implementation
```typescript
// BionicFormatter.tsx
export const formatTextBionic = (text: string, intensity: number): string => {
  const words = text.split(/(\s+)/)

  return words.map(word => {
    // Skip whitespace and punctuation-only
    if (/^\s+$/.test(word) || /^[^\w]+$/.test(word)) {
      return word
    }

    // Extract leading punctuation
    const leadMatch = word.match(/^([^\w]*)(.*)$/)
    const leadPunct = leadMatch?.[1] || ''
    const remaining = leadMatch?.[2] || word

    // Extract trailing punctuation
    const trailMatch = remaining.match(/^(.*?)([^\w]*)$/)
    const core = trailMatch?.[1] || remaining
    const trailPunct = trailMatch?.[2] || ''

    if (!core) return word

    // Calculate bold count based on intensity
    const boldCount = Math.max(1, Math.ceil(core.length * (intensity / 100)))
    const boldPart = core.substring(0, boldCount)
    const regularPart = core.substring(boldCount)

    return `${leadPunct}<strong>${boldPart}</strong>${regularPart}${trailPunct}`
  }).join('')
}

// Apply to verse content
export const BionicFormatter: React.FC<{ children: string }> = ({ children }) => {
  const { bionicReading } = useFocusMode()

  if (!bionicReading.enabled) {
    return <>{children}</>
  }

  const formatted = formatTextBionic(children, bionicReading.intensity)

  return (
    <span
      dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: formatted }}
      style={{ fontWeight: bionicReading.fontWeight }}
    />
  )
}
```

## 📝 Notes & Considerations

### Performance Considerations
- Use `will-change` CSS property sparingly
- Implement throttling/debouncing for scroll events
- Use `requestAnimationFrame` for smooth animations
- Consider virtual scrolling for very long chapters
- Profile with Chrome DevTools Performance tab

### Accessibility Considerations
- Ensure focus mode doesn't interfere with screen readers
- Maintain keyboard navigation
- Provide alternatives for color-dependent features
- Test with screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
- Add ARIA labels where appropriate

### Browser Compatibility
- Test on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
- Provide fallbacks for unsupported features
- Consider mobile browser limitations
- Test on iOS Safari (webkit-specific issues)

### User Privacy
- Focus mode settings stored locally by default
- Option to sync to account (opt-in)
- No tracking of reading content
- Clear data on logout (if user prefers)
