The term “Metaguiding” describes the broader concept of visually guiding readers, whether by using a pointer or by typographic cues like bolding. That’s the approach I follow, and I’m also working on new algorithms to add other visual clues other than bolding that might help even more in the future.

This is why I consider “Metaguiding” the proper name - it reflects the long-standing tradition of guiding the eyes, not just one branded implementation.

have a great day
What you are doing is not Metaguiding. So you really should change the name. What it is right now is Bionic Reading.
