Then I use Logseq as my creative / working / permanent note space where I pull in ideas I’ve gathered in Readwise as their subject comes up in my day-to-day work in Logseq. I use Readwise’s daily spaced repetition feature to review them so everything stays kind of fresh in my mind and the ideas have time to percolate. For online content, I read and watch everything in Readwise Reader and highlight/note-take there.Īll of those highlights and notes are viewable together (articles, books, YouTube video -everything) in Readwise, which I use as a kind of holding tank for all of the best bits of information I find, with (mostly) everything tagged. I read and highlight ebooks (Apple, Kindle, and Libby -free book library app-). It has been a game changer for me for actually making use of everything I’m reading! I’ll throw my vote in for Readwise Reader -> Logseq! Syncing all highlights through Readwise means a lot of garbage entering into it (at least in my case). Some editing after the highlights are extracted is required.Īlthough a manual process, I prefer that because I have more control over the content I put inside my PKM, which means a cleaner environment. I use this Javascript snippet to extract higlights for the articles that I really need to create notes on (manually again). You'll have to download the mobile app and share the highlights from it.įor reading on the web I've been using Pocket. Readwise is a great service but I don't think I need to import all the highlights to my vault, since many of them are useless.Įven if you have a Kindle device, all your highlights are synced with the mobile app (including books that you didn't buy in the Amazon Store). It's costless and even better than Readwise, in my opinion, since I'm able to edit the html and create a structure for the chapters with vim. I've been exporting my Kindle highlights as html manually from the mobile app and then converting it to markdown and importing to my vault (actually I use Obsidian, but the process would be the same for Logseq). I can't speak to Instapaper as I went to pocket around 2009 or so but when I looked it was a better mobile experience then pocket so you may find readwise a bit lacking ATM but not longterm. all that said iOS/Mobile is still a second class citizen, sadly, but features show up about a quarter or so or so after launch- and the dev are highly responsive. But at the price (at 7.99 a month vs the combined pocket and Feedly at 17.99) and readwise's pace of new feature development - I have no concerns on the decision. Readwise has eliminated two long time services for me, (Feedly and pocket - both amazing but both way more then I needed), pocket is a 100% replacement with readwise, Feedly is a barebones sub-in - I 'm missing very few features that mattered and those I miss are in the roadmap for next few quarters after chatting with devs on the discord.Īll to say- I'm two weeks into readwise replacing everything. I change my workflows only if I have to - but love to spend evenings trying out new apps. (I still use org in terminal occasionally but its the same folder). I'm now moving to to Devonthink (to replace Evernote), using reader/readwise and logseq. I'd use a script to move my org mode files into Evernote and that would be my place of 'all things'. With todo's, journaling and daily notes in org-mode (then recently logseq). Not exactly the same here- but for about 10 years I was a pocket & Feedly to Evernote guy.

Question: Is anyone using Omnivore or these other workflows I mention? Can you share any pros or cons with one over the other? Readwise Reader -> Readwise -> Logseq ($8) -or. Instapaper -> Readwise -> Logseq ($10) -or. And Readwise now has its own read-it-later app. Readwise also does the spaced repetition really well, I think, although that's kind of a separate discussion. However, I just came across this video by One Sturrering Mind (Dario): where he uses to collect highlights on web articles and the omnivore plugin to go Omnivore -> Logseq directly without involving Readwise.įrom what I can tell, Readwise also handles Kindle highlights (and does so really nicely) which neither Instapaper nor Omnivore support. I got it all set up and it seems to work great. I've seen numerous videos advocating using Instapaper -> Readwise -> Logseq as a workflow for saving things to read later, highlighting and tagging specific passages, making notes on those highlights, and getting the highlights, notes, tags as well as bibliographical data all neatly formatted and imported into logseq. To get the tagging and highlighting feature, Instapaper is something like $3/month and Readwise is $8/month. I'm trying to understand the best combination of tools to use at the best price. I'm new to logseq and the whole concept of PKM (personal knowledge management), although I have used Workflowy for years.
