Improved Engagement
By providing an estimated read time, readers can better manage their time and are more likely to engage with the content if they know how long it will take.
Enhanced User Experience
A clear indication of read time can make the user experience smoother by setting the right expectations before a reader starts an article.
Content Awareness
It raises awareness of content length which can encourage readers to bookmark longer articles for later, ensuring they spend adequate time reading them.

Inaccurate Time Estimate
The reading speed varies between individuals, so the estimated read time might not be accurate for everyone, potentially causing frustration or mismanaged expectations.
Added Plugin Dependency
Installing another plugin adds to the management overhead, and potential compatibility issues with other plugins and themes in WordPress installations.
Visual Clutter
If not implemented neatly, displaying the read time can add clutter to the web page design, potentially detracting from the visual appeal.

Ease of use
ReadlineJs provides a straightforward and easy-to-use interface for handling readable input streams, making it accessible for developers of all skill levels.
Asynchronous Support
The library supports asynchronous operations, allowing non-blocking input handling, which is essential for modern web and server-side applications.
Event-Driven
ReadlineJs is event-driven, enabling developers to listen to various events like 'line' or 'close', facilitating reactive programming patterns.
Customizability
The library allows for the customization of prompts and input behavior, offering flexibility in integrating with different kinds of projects and user interfaces.

Limited Advanced Features
Compared to some other libraries, ReadlineJs may lack advanced features like rich text input or complex command-line interface management.
Browser Compatibility
Being designed primarily for Node.js, there might be limitations or additional requirements when trying to use it in a browser environment.
Community and Support
As a smaller or less-known library, ReadlineJs might have a smaller community, which can lead to less support and fewer resources or plugins available.
Performance Constraints
While suitable for many use cases, ReadlineJs might not be optimized for high-performance scenarios compared to more robust alternatives.
