I would like to see the reading time before I publish my post, maybe when seeing a draft, but better to see it with some stats in the bottom right, I remember someone requesting a word count, this could be in the same place.
You can get the reading time value before publishing your articles. Just find the Share Draft button, and on the next page, you'll find the reading time.
Sure, the value is hidden behind another click, but it's available before publishing.
Seeing the word count together with the reading time while writing articles could improve the writing experience a bit. It also allows deciding to split the articles into a series or keeping it all together in one lengthy post.
