#readwise — Public Fediverse posts

The part of the quarterly review I found most useful was not the growth numbers. It was the reminder that 1,693 fleeting notes are still sitting in a processing system I stopped using months ago.

The recommendation: default them to library, and only promote something to the synthesis queue when I genuinely mean it. Inverting the burden of proof has been the single biggest change to how my vault works.

I moved to #readwise during #pocket's decline. And I must say, best darn decision. 😎

The reader has had a massive impact on recollection, note taking, and yes reading. 😅 Thing can even handle #epub.

Basically, latest updates are more than ai. 😅

I used to subscribe and use #Readwise (Reader.io). It was pretty ground breaking for highlighting and saving bits of articles etc. I wasn't using it to its potential, so I ended my subscription awhile back.
They've been quiet with any email updates, feature additions, etc. for like 8 months.
Today I get one and every new Public Beta 'improvement' revolves around #AI. Surprised? 'Ghostreader' is one of them:

"Ghostreader now indexes every word of every document and can instantly generate cited answers for you across your full library. Beyond just answering questions, however, Ghostreader can also help you triage your inbox, organize your library, and act as a full-powered reading assistant for you."

I mean, the new #Readwise ghost reader interface is disturbingly easy to draw out meaning and ideas from my notes.

I'm very happy to announce that #Flyleaf update 2.6 is finally available in the #AppStore:

#Tables finally render properly, add #Bluesky threads, import articles from #Readwise Reader, export articles as #Markdown, navigate with a built-in table of contents, and a bunch of other improvements across iOS, iPadOS and macOS. Plus: Fixes for images, videos, reading position, and other pesky paper cuts.

I wanted an easy way to add notes in @drafts to #Readwise Reader and add them straight to my read-later queue. With this action I finally have an easy solution to revisit notes my dedicated read-later app.

It is waaaaaaaay past time for app makers and service providers to quit offering nothing more than #facebook and #twitter as native "Share to" alternatives.

Is there any reason -- other than, perhaps laziness? obliviousness? -- for #Readwise, an otherwise wonderful service, to only offer native "Share to" hooks for Twitter (they still call it that!) and Facebook?

Where's my Settings switch where I can enter from three to five social media accounts *of my choice* to share to?

Readwise Wrapped: my year in reading

TL;DR: I built Readwise Wrapped. It gives you a Spotify Wrapped style year-in-review for your Readwise highlights. You paste your Readwise token, pick a year, and it spits out a clean, shareable, good-looking reading recap.
Link: https://readwise-wrapped.apps.anantshri.info/

What is it?

If you use Readwise, you already have a ridiculous amount of reading data sitting there. Highlights from books, articles, tweets, podcasts, PDFs, random rabbit holes at 2 AM. Basically a personal library of “things that made me pause and go hmm.”

But Readwise does not really give you a flashy year-end recap. I wanted that.

So I made Readwise Wrapped.

You paste your Readwise token, select a year, and in a minute or two (depending on how big you are with highlights) you get a set of slides that summarize your reading year:

• Your Numbers: total highlights, books/articles/docs, words consumed, streaks
• Reading DNA: what you actually read (books vs articles vs tweets vs podcasts)
• Monthly Activity: which months were productive and which months were… aspirational
• Reading Rhythm: your peak days and favorite times to read
• Virtual Mentors: authors who show up the most in your highlights
• Top Books: your most highlighted reads
• Best Highlight: the one quote that basically screamed “remember me”
• Next Year Forecast: a small prediction of what you will likely read next, based on your late-year trends

If you enable AI insights, it also adds:

• Reading Personality: a fun label for your reading style
• Your Superpower: what your reading habits suggest you are good at
• Recommendations: books you might actually enjoy, not just “top 10 books everyone must read or else”

Privacy first, because of course

Your Readwise token is used only to fetch the data and then discarded. It is not stored.

Only the final wrapped output is saved, and it gets a unique URL you can share.

Sharing and exports

Each wrapped comes with:

• A shareable link
• A PDF download (multi-page report)
• A share card (1200×630) for Twitter/LinkedIn

Yes, I know. We are all addicted to neat rectangles with stats.

How it works

1. Get your Readwise access token: https://readwise.io/access_token
2. Open: https://readwise-wrapped.apps.anantshri.info/
3. Paste token, pick a year
4. Wait a minute or two
5. Swipe through the slides, then share or download

Happy reading. Or happy highlighting. Same thing, just with more optimism.

I am assuming people are right now collecting their year wraps. I found it was not available for readwise so i made a tool that can get you a year unwrap for readwise https://readwise-wrapped.apps.anantshri.info/

My #Readwise subscription is about to renew, and I feel like I am paying a lot of money for features I do not use. According to an email I received from them, they are also doubling-down on AI-powered features, I am probably not going to use.

Soo … what #RSS readers are you using? 👀

You email a screenshot of your podcast app (or lock screen while listening), they reply with a few paragraphs of text from the podcast leading up to that timestamp.

They say it works with Apple Podcasts and Spotify, but it also works with other apps in my experience. I can think of a bunch of uses for this, first one being #readwise

coming up on my renewal for #Readwise and while I really like the functionality of it, namely through Reader and the way it resurfaces highlights, I really can't justify the cost to renew (had a student discount which I no longer have access to).

What other similar services do folks use? I'm kinda feeling like the way to go is splitting back to an RSS reader and bookmark manager and just having highlights go to Obsidian

Is there a way to pull highlighted quotes in a Libby book into #Readwise or a csv - if not what is the point of highlighting thinks in a borrowed book?

I just released a small update to ✨Reade,✨ my #LaunchBar Action to interact with the #Readwise API:

- The `list` command now supports filtering by tags, e.g., `list business case+study` will list items tagged “business” and “case study”. Multi-word tags need `+` separators in place of spaces.
- View distilled HTML output (`⌥-enter`).
- Lots of minor fixes.

The real power of my stack lies in its automation, especially the synchronisation of notes. Notes flow into Readwise and then sync to Obsidian regularly. #ReadWise #Obsidian #Sync

Once I've consumed an article in Reader, I archive it. All highlights and notes are synced to Readwise and then to Obsidian. #Readwise #Obsidian

Readwise also developed Reader, a read-later app for web articles, RSS feeds, YouTube videos, PDFs, and EPUBs. #Reader #Readwise

Readwise sits at the heart of my system. Many apps I use for initial notes sync with Readwise, which then feeds into Obsidian. This alone makes the subscription worthwhile. #Readwise #Obsidian

My PKM stack is built around Obsidian and the Zettelkasten method. I use Readwise and Reader to manage a library of web content, Kindle highlights, and more. #Zettelkasten #ObsidianMD #Readwise

Mashable: Pocket is shutting down. Here are the read-later app alternatives.. “Pocket may be saying goodbye, but plenty of bookmarking and read-later platforms are still alive and kicking. If you’re looking for a read-later service like Pocket, Instapaper and Readwise are two popular options.” Also Raindrop, which I use and heartily recommend. I have no financial relationship with them except […]

@curtismchale Your review was very helpful. I just started a free trial with #Readwise after looking for a replacement for #Pocket and the very nice but local #Feedbro extension.

First impression? #chefskiss 🤩
It's like Pocket on steroids.

Can't say I'm surprised, but #mozilla is shutting down #pocket.

The service was really good in the early years. But have degraded pretty badly. 🙃

Enough so, I moved and never looked back. I use #readwise now and it has been an outstanding upgrade. 😅

Just found out about "Action Tags" in #Readwise today while reading through their "WiseUp!" Newsletter.

Definitely an underrated feature! Now I have to update my Readwise Hoghlight importer for Drafts to support the heading levels 😊

Reader on macOS now supports the same `wiseread://` x-callback-url scheme URLs as the iOS app:

- `wiseread://new` (opens Inbox)
- `wiseread://later` (opens Later)
- `wiseread://shortlist` (opens Shortlist, if that workflow is used)
- `wiseread://archive` (opens Archive)
- `wiseread://search` (opens Search)
- `wiseread://read/{ID}` (opens document by ID)
