Objective:
Develop an MVP for an innovative eBook concept that empowers users to modify the complexity of textual content within a specific chapter from a well-known public domain story. The app should offer four distinct readability levels: Original Sentence, Simile with Common Quality, Literal Translation, and Clearest Translation.

Core Features:

Readability Slider:
Implement a slider control (or similar functionality) to demonstrate the ability to allow users to dynamically adjust the text’s readability level.
The adjustment functionality should have four discrete positions, each corresponding to one of the specified readability levels.

Interactive Text Display:
As the slider is adjusted, the text displayed on the screen should seamlessly transition to the corresponding readability level without reloading the page or causing a noticeable delay to the user.

Chapter Selection:
If possible, include the functionality to select different sections or chapters of "Alice in Wonderland" for demonstration purposes, assuming the text for at least one chapter is fully adapted to all four readability levels.

Technical Requirements:
Platform Compatibility:
Unless a cheaper alternative can be produced, the MVP should be a web-based application for ease of access and to minimise development costs.

Ensure compatibility with at least one of the major browsers (ideally Chrome and Safari) on both desktop and mobile devices.

Responsive Design:
Design the interface to be responsive, ensuring a positive user experience across devices of varying screen sizes.

Minimalist Design:
Adopt a minimalist UI/UX design to keep the focus on the readability adjustment feature and to expedite development.

Cost Considerations:
Leverage open-source technologies and frameworks to minimise development costs.
Consider a phased approach, starting with a basic implementation of the core features, and iterate based on user feedback.
Explore the possibility of using cloud-based development environments and hosting services that offer free tiers or credits for startups/education products.

Deliverables:
A functional MVP of the ReadAble app hosted on a web server.
Documentation covering the app’s architecture, technologies used, and instructions for use.
An initial report on user feedback and analytics data collected during the MVP testing phase.

Timeline:
Provide an estimated timeline for the MVP development, including milestones for the completion of core features, testing, and user feedback collection.

Future Considerations:
Outline potential features and improvements for subsequent versions of the app, based on anticipated user feedback and technological advancements.
Data Analytics:
Incorporate basic analytics to track user interactions with the readability slider and overall engagement with the app. This data will be valuable for understanding user preferences and improving future versions.
User Feedback Mechanism:
Integrate a simple mechanism for users to provide feedback on their reading experience. This could be a form or a set of rating stars at the end of the chapter.
