We've completely overhauled the the design of the web and mobile apps
Plus much much more π
π¨ Readwise Brand β Believe it or not, we originally shipped Readwise in 2017 without a logo and we never bothered to make one... until now!
We hope you like it π€
π€ Export Integrations β ICYMI, you can now automatically sync your highlights with a variety of note-taking apps including Roam, Notion, and Evernote.
There's also now a (very beta) bulk Markdown option for Obsidian and others.
π₯ New Sources β We've been continuously adding additional sources from which you can import highlights. Just a few recent ones:
PDFs
Google Play Books
Feedly
Airr (podcasts)
OβReilly Learning
Hypothesis
Scribd
Here's our latest version of the "sync highlights" page :)
π Public API β In addition to our hand-coded integrations, we now offer a public API which developers have started to harness for all kinds of creative applications
(please hit up @homsiT and @tdkte if you wanna pair programπ)
π Apple Books β Our MacOS app was seriously busted, but we just shipped a brand new, completely rewritten app you can use to quickly import all your Apple Book highlights.
π¨ Database Performance β We reached the point where certain database queries were getting a little sluggish (especially when reviewing more highlights or the highlight feed).
But thanks to some backend wizardry, you hopefully notice the entire app is now much faster!
π Help Center/FAQ β Our product became sufficiently deep that we needed to migrate to a proper help desk solution with a robust FAQ where you can find answers to most of your questions:
π€ Customer Support β We started receiving more emails than we could handle so we were lucky enough to bring on our first rockstar customer support specialist (@anzi11ah) who has brought our average response time to under one day!
Reach out about anything :)
π iOS Mobile App β We cleaned up the iOS mobile app design and continue to add improvements including an Action Extension for saving highlights from your mobile browser and (very soon!) a nifty iOS 14 widget
π½ Android Mobile App β We also ported our iOS mobile app to Android in full.
We seriously hope you like the new design, and please reach out with any/all feedback as always :)
Big shout out to our designer Sara and our newest dev @ArtemLitch for seriously overhauling basically every page on the site without losing any previous functionality π
Phew. This all is not to mention dozens of other features, and hundreds of bugs/improvements over the past couple months. We detailed a bunch more here:
π Beta feature in Readwise β sync your highlights to @NotionHQ!
Continuously have your latest highlights from Kindle, Pocket, Instapaper, iBooks, and more loaded directly into your Notion workspace ππ
We've been huge fans of Notion since 2016, and have basically fielded requests for an integration since we started Readwise. Very excited to finally get this into users' hands!
