Is this specially good? Does it use a better algorithm or something?

Just asking because there's no explanation, and it would be probably better to hack something in JS than to depend on this probably-soon-to-vanish-api. There's already https://eager.io/app/reading-time, for example, which anyone can install in 2 minutes, and is based on a simple algorithm[1], it seems.
