Readwise

My guess is if your audience has heard of Readwise, it’s probably not for the resurfacing value proposition but for our syncing value proposition.
Over the years, we’ve built over 30 integrations with reading apps upstream from us and note-taking apps downstream from us .
Readwise makes it easy to continuously gather all these annotations into one place and then get them into your tool for thought of choice.
This all gets saved in my reading app and the highlights get ported to the notes app of my choice.

  • Readwise Reader was nominated in the Mobile app category and became finalist of the Golden Kitty Award 2022.
  • Bloat is
  • There is incredible innovation taking place in this space already and we have little to add but for ensuring your notes and highlights cleanly interface with your tool of preference.

So there is no lack of methods to import content into Readwise.
It is of little use if you ask me if I have all the content on earth, but can’t work with it in a meaningful way.

Getting Started Off With Readwise And Kindle Highlights

Decreasing use case of Themed Reviews would be to make a review based around, well, a style.
For instance, because Readwise is my business, I have a Themed Review around highlights related to Readwise that I review every day.
It’s incredibly helpful when trying to level up or working on hard issues with elusive solutions.
Are books somehow perfected in their current form?

  • gives a GPT-3 TLDR at the top (perhaps even passing your personal API key to keep provider costs down/free).
  • The desktop experience is by far my favorite part, It’s the first Reader I’ve used that converts everything into block-based text, which opens up a much better reading/highlighting experience.
  • We don’t remember things by simply reading them once.
  • Fortunately, there is a second way to use text sections.
  • Readwise is not only an intermediate step for the actual work.

For each highlight, you can then specify whether you want to keep seeing it or not.
You can also add them to the highlights you want to learn and assign tags.
In the settings, you can change the frequency with which certain sources are shown.
You can even set whether newly added content or older content should be displayed.
Readwise relies here primarily on a classification by media type and tags.
As well, it becomes clear that the focus isn’t on working directly in Readwise.
The organizational options are not elaborate enough for that.

Mastery button that each Highlights card has and then select the word or words you wish to learn, for example because it is a definition.
Then the the next time, the selected words are not visible.
However, I possibly could only ever create a maximum of five words invisible, so it’s bad for hiding a complete definition, for instance.
The first time the Workflow is run, each of the existing Highlights in your Readwise account will undoubtedly be imported.
If you have a large number of books/highlights, it could take a while so that you can see all of them inside Amplenote, even with the Pipedream Workflow has finished running.

Remember

That sounds great in theory, but in practice, most people fall behind after a week.
An Inbox Themed Review, however, hijacks a daily habit our users have built around their daily review .
You may realise of it as a lightweight GTD inbox.

Because Reader is focused on learning instead of entertainment, they invest more in desktop.
The desktop experience is by far my favorite part, It’s the initial Reader I’ve used that converts everything into block-based text, which opens up a far greater reading/highlighting experience.
Oh, and it scans images, which other reading apps don’t.
The internal links appear to be no longer working, though.
I mostly read books with a lot of footnotes, so I won’t manage to check it out as my daily reading driver at this time, but good luck!

After a credit card applicatoin data clearing it seemed to connect, but none of my articles were imported from Pocket.
So I had to disconnect Pocket again, which oddly puts you on the Readwise page, and after connecting Pocket for the second time, it finally synced my articles.
From readwise.io/export you will find a bulk markdown option which enables you to save all of your highlights/notes in a zip file, with one markdown file per document.
I’m a big tweaker when it comes to personal software interaction configuration, and I’m curious if your app has any functionality by which to tweak interactions.

Yet the practice of reading is still mostly analog.
You would never write a book or blog post on a typewriter instead of a word processor, meanwhile just a small fraction of individuals read nonfiction ebooks over paper books.
You might think you could just cargo cult the idea of a block to today’s reading tool, but reading and writing are just too different.
The one thing with Hypothes.is at this time

I have no way to learn if you’ve sold data to advertisers and publishers.
I can only know what you tell me that you do, or “may” do, in your privacy policy (in context of a privacy policy “may” should be assumed to mean “will”).
The business is _entirely_ funded through customer subscriptions.
