  • In middle of transition between Readwise/dashboard and the new Reader app

  • Highlighting

    • Annotations, URLs/bookmarks, clips from videos and podcasts
    • Tagging - highlights can have tags for categorization
  • Daily review feature of your highlights for a Spaced Repetition way of learning and review

  • Sharing feature where you have some kind of endpoint to share highlights, etc.

  • Supplemental books - Can manually add books that otherwise don't sync via some service and it can generate and suggest popular highlights that you can add to your Readwise library as normal highlights

Integrations, capabilities, types (connected/using)

Reader app

  • RSS & Web Feeds
  • Newsletter feature
    • can use a special email address to sign up to newsletter with and then you get email newsletters as if they were RSS feeds
  • Safari extension can save URLs and highlight article text and sync to Obsidian
  • Is there a way of getting Readwise to import to Obsidian even if I don't highlight something in the source?
  • Is there a way to have better categories in Obsidian - e.g. not just articles, books, and podcasts - something like videos, tweets, toots, etc.

Web pages

  • Works well, automatic
  • Decent, manual process only - need to use their mac app and run it to manually sync.
  • No direct way
  • If you have the Kindle version, you can clip in Audible, or listen in the Kindle app and clip, in which case those clips get synced to the Kindle version and I think get synced to Readwise.
  • auto
  • manual - but just a button that you push in readwise dashboard

Physical Books with highlights

  • Take picture of a paper book with the mobile app and it will save highlights

Supplemental Books (any book)

  • manual way to add any book and it will generate and suggest highlights to add to your library

PDFs

  • THere's a way but not tested
  • auto - including saving snips from others via the feed thing
  • Good, but need to load into the reader extension
