What are /r/readwise's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

There is a lack of browser annotation, hypothes.is integration is annoying and zero idea about their grand plans forming together.

They have specific criteria for "on-boarding" and I haven't been able to get the foot in the door despite numerous requests here and on Twitter.

I also agree about the regional pricing- but they have to justify the associated costs. Yes, a lack of a competition is hurting everyone in the knowledge-gathering ecosystem.

Once you've connected your Hypothes.is account to Readwise, it will sync automatically a few times per day, but if you'd like the highlights to import into Readwise more quickly then you can keep manually syncing.

Have you tried Obsidian? It has an official Readwise plugin to import all your highlights, and it's great for creating connections between them.

r/obsidianmd is pretty active and has a lot of workflows. Also of course https://obsidian.md/

I have been waiting for too long, and despite being reasonably tech-aware, I haven't been able to get the "on-boarding". I just need the access to the development and start with my data collection and Obsidian connection.

It's good to have "some update", but they are making it sound like a concierge service. I don't need it. I need a reliable solution to sync with the browser and the PDF's I read. That's all. Hypothes.is is bad in that regard. Their requirement for being on Discord is onerous- the application is horrible to begin with and lags terribly on my hardware.

Nevertheless, it is the TINA- There Is No Alternative- especially if you want a reliable option from web annotation (and PDF's) to sync to Obsidian. I won't touch Roam Research and there's no comparable solution to Readwise.

Will I recommend it? In this frame of mind, NO. I agree that software can be complex but raising the expectations and then underdelivering it is a bad customer move.

I hope someone from their team is reading it and reaches out to allow me access. My repeated exhortations on Twitter have not yielded anything.

I stumble upon the same issue. What is confusing is the wording on the sync page. It suggests there are no highlights at all.

• Start with supporting the "most popular" use cases. HighlightsApp, for example supports markdown export. You can have a look at what Command Browser is doing-syncing in real time!
• I want to steer clear of Hypothes.is They are bunch of dodos. But its the only thing which is working- no other annotation system works as effectively.
• I'll correct myself on the export function.
• I'll look into Kindle part with the extension. If you need someone to sideload and beta test your system, count me in.

I already have a trial account- I can make it more meaningful if the pain point of annotation goes away- Something as seamless as Inoreader system that you have implemented- syncs in real time.

I need Readwise to become the central point for personal knowledge system- especially for lifelong learning. I am also carefully looking at Obsidian to extend the ideas for writing.
