I'm just using your "Read" app for the past two days, and I love it. However, one improvement I would find useful is a dictionary, or a function that allows users to highlight words to get definitions.
Hey @@JamesFlemingIreland - glad you enjoy Jacobin too :) We actually have a define option not available thanks to Ghostreader! Shift highlight the word, hit G > Define!
Been following the app development for a good while. Have recently subbed as I find it the best way to bring all my reading into a single app. Keep up the feature development! Love the app
Reader is good but there’s a lot of competition in the read it later niche currently and some of them are free while providing similar features. I’d suggest improving the RSS section so users can group their feeds into folders. A single timeline of all feeds mixed together is simply unmanageable for serious RSS readers who also highlight and annotate. The other thing that really turns me off is that there is no native desktop clients but that’s something I’m personally very picky about so I understand it’s probably far from being a priority. Keep working guys and girls. I’d be happy to support you if you start pulling ahead of the competition in this space.
Hey Georgi, we definitely get requests from time to time for a better way to navigate the feed to balance out high-volume sources. We're actually designing a feature that might help here that we're referring internally to as "foldering." Once shipped, this feature will enable you to isolate specific sources within the feed itself. It's also on our long-term roadmap to add a true desktop app. In the meantime, Reader is designed to work offline and you can use a web-wrapper like Flotato to add it to your desktop :)
The folder suggestion is the only thing that I would change about Reader. (For now), I've gone back to using my former RSS reader, exporting what I read into Readwise (which works fine, actually).
I've been using RSS since the beginning and currently subscribe to ~200 RSS feeds and read all of them "river of news" style, so I'm not sure what you mean by "unmanageable".
@@readwise-official Another way to add to desktop is to use something like MS Edge's ability to add basically any page as an "app" that gets its own desktop icon and opens in its own window without the traditional browser UI.
I was wondering - when I mark an RSS article to read later, is there any way to move it to (Feed-) Seen once I've read it? I've only found an option to move it to the inbox, the archive or to delete it. This kinda breaks the separation between Library and Feed.
I love reader by Readwise, unfortunately, even though it got all these fancy features, it is very hard to use it, well to read everything that I catalogued and added to the system. The read experience does not allow a lot of customization like choosing line length or background or anything really, additionally, the mobile app just consumes all of my iPhone 14 Pro, or iPad battery in minutes 😞 All of that is very funny because the parallel with the product name, even though it's called Reader, reading is the only thing I can't do in the app, nailing that one thing would make Reader the best app ever!
Hey @Caicorre - thanks so much for the feedback, and sorry I'm just now responding to you! We've added quite a view customizations for line width and height as well as background color to the Aa styles panel. Improving the mobile performance (battery power and speed) has also been our #1 priority the past few months, and these should be mostly resolved by now! If not, feel free to email me at hello@readwise.io.
I have nearly 20 RSS feeds saved in a folder according to their relevant topics. I want to create a filter from these feeds to extract articles relevant to my interests. Currently, I'm using the filter feed:true AND title:"vaccines" to sort based on words or strings present in the article title. Is there a way to filter a specific folder from the feed (the one I have now is "Virology") and then further filter based on either the article summary created by ghostreader or the abstract of the medical article?
Hey there! Thanks so much for asking. Currently there is no way to query a folder, or filter based on summary or article contents. sorry about that! If you submit this as a feature request in-app, however, we can get your account details and start tracking these requests :)
Auto-advancing was turn on, but when hitting either J /K /E /D, it just turn blank, instead of moving to next one of the feed, so i have to hit "1" to got back to the list each time, please help?
Kind of like this service, both, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to fully leave pocket. For starters none of the forwarding of emails works for me. Which is frustrating for getting to inbox zero. Seems this service is still a work in progress.
Hey @OffroadTreks - Erin here from the video! So sorry to hear your forwarding emails aren't working :( Was this an issue with getting a confirmation code from Gmail, or something else?
@@readwise-official I figured it out. I didn't realize I needed to add the email under "Associate more email addresses with your account." - I use a signup email but my newsletters, I was forwarding from a different email. Once I added that, they showed up. Also I just moved the subscriptions over and this worked great.
