   Great help to review books

   I imported my kindle highlights, as many others. Now I daily review some highlights (thanks to a dashboard, I am motivated). And where I didn't create highlights, as I only listened to the audiobooks, I get the highlights from others. It also allows to create beautiful quotes. It adds the book cover and matches quote and background with colours found on the book title! Really nice!

   👍 Pros:    Review books|Beautiful quotes|Dashboard motivates

• AI to summarize articles

  OK, I may have found something here - tldrthis.com was linked there and you can paste a URL and there's a browser plugin. Here's to hoping this can do what I'm looking for. Thanks again! Source: about 1 year ago

• I made a chrome extension that summarises articles into a single paragraph using AI, making it super easy to save stuff in Obsidian. Hit copy and then paste into Obsidian for better indexing and rediscovery of saved articles. Search "squish AI" in the chrome store to try it out :)

  Instead of having an AI vaguely tell you what it might be about in long prose, try something like https://tldrthis.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Importance of detailed character backstory?

  Does it matter if the player is having fun writing them? I sure have, I'll even write a book about my character with as much cliché as you'd expect but I have fun doing it, you can read it, throw it on tldrthis.com or don't. The player character is their entire vessel for the game, if they're writing paragraphs of backstory I'd be happy because that usually means they want to invest that much in the play.

• FEATURE REQUEST: Get notes without logging in

  I'm between apps at the moment! I would have used Notion except it wasn't possible to use the app on an e-ink screen. I need an app I can compose a synopsis on at the same time as export Kindle highlights to using https://readwise.io/, which narrows the options. I'm looking at Logseq at the moment.

• Pocket: It gets worse the more you use it

  Very much agree that Pocket has gotten worse as I've used it over the years. It's so bad I've mostly moved to the much better Readwise (https://readwise.io/). I'd be fully over if they actually supported a decent export (see below). It's sad because I'm probably in the 99th percentile of Pocket users in terms of usage and am happily paying them for Premium. I can't remember a significant improvement to Pocket in 2... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• What’s the best way to take notes while reading?

  I tend to read highlight and annotate using a Kindle, and subscribe to https://readwise.io/ to transfer my notes to the web. I would like to have the workflow to be able to write up summaries of books, if only for my own reference. At the moment reading my notes is like reading a book in itself. Source: 10 months ago

• How to take notes on technical books?

  Some of the things I am doing include highlighting using a Kindle, and with a subscription to https://readwise.io/ downloading those highlights to my laptop. It's possible to automatically orgnanise them into chapters and sections. Source: 10 months ago

• Looking for an app that will help me see my notes again.

  If it syncs with whatever notes app you're using Readwise might suit your needs. Source: 11 months ago
