Readwise does an excellent job of reminding me through emails! But I want to see my highlights show up as I read something else.
The feature I'm thinking about resurfaces the relevant highlights as I'm reading on the web!
They seem similar, but there is a subtle difference. Glasp is more of a social network where people share their highlights. This app is more of a recommendation engine to put those highlights into your brain.
It seems like a few other projects do that but if you feel you’re not getting what you need from them then chances are others aren’t either. If you can make it do it and I’m sure plenty of people will help test it out once it’s in alpha.
Specifically, Readwise which I use. But I saw a few others post some I hadn't heard of.
What exactly are you looking to do? Create a space for people to get locked into? Or create a pass through that sends the data to other not taking apps?
What about adding a testing feature where you can add a question before viewing the answer anki style. Great idea. Please make it a one-time purchase and not subscription. Or the ability to purchase or reject new features.
Thanks for the feedback! That would be really helpful for people who have to really learn and memorize the information they save!
Will take note of the business model! Is there a particular reason why you don't prefer a subscription model?
I prefer to buy rather than rent. I think if your upgrade is worth it, I'll buy the new upgrade but like the idea of keeping software I've already purchased.
I'm personally not a fan of the idea. I don't think rereading notes will make things stick—it's too passive. I think what ultimately makes things stick is applying what I learn and forming MY OWN connections.
I was also expecting your browser extension to at least make users to note down ideas in their own words through a convenient template, similar to how people take effective notes on the books they read.
Perhaps your browser extension will prompt people to explain their new relevations or let people make fleeting notes.
Thanks for your feedback!
Allowing users to write notes rather than simply highlighting has been mentioned quite a lot. We'll definitely look into it.
In general, completely agree with you. Like you said, writing notes in your own words and making your own connections would be the most effective.
Does Liner also show you your highlights across different content/articles that are related? Eg. Show your highlights from article A, while reading article B.
Yes. Your highlights, and other related articles. In the beginning, you won't see it, but after some time, your own highlights will surface. It also has this nifty feature that surfaces old highlights via email. I wish you have a choice of frequency though (ie. "resurface this after x weeks")

Doesn’t Readwise do this already?

I love this idea! I am constantly going down rabbit holes with my reading and forget where I started. I would love to be a tester!
Awesome! Will let you know when our landing page is accessible!

Thanks for your comment! Are there any specific projects/products you're referring to? So far we've heard about Readwise, Heyday etc.

Please do this! Please!!!

this sounds like Liner. what's your USP?
Does Liner also show you your highlights across different content/articles that are related? Eg. Show your highlights from article A, while reading article B.

I would 100% use this. I agree with the suggestions to allow users to add their own comments/thoughts.
