    It's really impressive to see how much the Readwise team has done in a year. Can't wait to see what they do next! readwise.io/nicole
    The theme I used in this video was Minimal, by @kepano: github.com/kepano/obsidian-minimal , with the red accent colour selected within the Obsidian settings. :)

    I’m also a huge fan of Readwise and Reader to the point that I onboarded several users when it was in private beta. It changed the way I approach articles and how I read, and I believe it made me a more active reader.

      Glad you appreciated that! :) I used to use TiddlyWiki too! I loved that I could use it on a flash drive - it got me around some companies' annoying restrictions on installing applications. Luckily I don't work for companies like that anymore, because Obsidian is so much better!

    Hi Nicole, thanks for your effort for letting us know there is such great reader like this! You are my mentor into Obsidian and now you introduced this, it clicked for me right on, and I am a currently full subscription user of readwise and I just emailed them asking for an invite with reference to your videos, but I am not sure how long I can obtain access to it. Anyway so grateful for all your video contents!

    • @nicolevdh
      @nicolevdh  2 года назад +2

      To be clear, I've had access to Readwise Reader longer than I've had this RUclips channel. :) They invited me because I wrote a Python script integrating Readwise with Obsidian (before the plugin was released). Also, I've been paying for Readwise for a few years, so I actually am a paying customer.

    • @nicolevdh
      @nicolevdh  2 года назад +1

    I don't really understand how Reader and Readwise work together. I can see they are connected but the highlights from my books (on Kindle and Kobo) don't show up in Reader while highlighted tweets do. Also: I can't hookup Reader withe Evernote. Or am I completely missing the point?

  • @DrDanAllosso
    @DrDanAllosso 2 года назад +1

    I wonder whether the highlight function is going to impact social annotation using Hypothesis?

    • @nicolevdh
      @nicolevdh  2 года назад

      Hmmm, afaik, Readwise doesn't (yet) plan to introduce social highlighting, so Hypothesis is probably safe from that perspective. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually went down that route though.

  • @holanda73
    @holanda73 Год назад

    Hi Nicole, thanks for this nice tour. Can you tell me if it is possible to add a Twitter account or Twitter search as a feed in Reader (as is possible in some RSS readers). I would then add some specific searches or users to the feed, which would save me time scrolling through my Twitter timeline just to see if I missed anything interesting.

  • @etobias_musiced

  • @mikethelma
    @mikethelma Год назад

    Is it just me, or is Readwise scrambling my keboard mapping? It is somewhat dissapointing when reading the second paragraph of the introduction to how to use Readwise they instruct me to type "h" after highlighting Antonio Banderas to see some wonderful new feature and instead of that, it invokes the usual CTL-F function of opening the finder box at the bottom of my screen. WTF? In Readwise Reader "h" behaves exactly as if I had typed "CTL-F h".
    Yeah, I hunted around for rogue processes. I got Power Toys to try to remap it back and that did not help. It seems as if Readwise itself is doing this. I don't have that problem in Gmail ... IOW I just typed "have" and got it in the text here and did not get a search for all comments with words containing the letter "h". Anyone else have this problem? So far, if this is how bad things are going right out of the gate, I really don't want to have anything to do with Readwise Reader. Thoughts?

    Where is the link to the chrome extension you're using to get live highlights on web pages? I've installed two of them and can't figure out how to replicate. Thanks!

    • @nicolevdh
      @nicolevdh  2 года назад

      It's part of Reader - you'll need to be accepted into the beta first, and then you'll get a link to it when you get set up.

  • @tucker3303
    @tucker3303 2 года назад

    I can’t seem to find the answer to this anywhere. When you save a website/article does it save a “permanent” copy in case you are offline, or if the website is removed etc.

    • @nicolevdh
      @nicolevdh  2 года назад

      Hey, this is probably best asked of the Readwise team - reach out to erin@readwise.io. I'm not sure if there's a way to do that, but no local copies are saved by default, if that's what you mean. However, if you're syncing your highlights to Obsidian, which is what I'm doing, then those ARE saved locally and you can access it whenever you want.

  • @willhelliwell
    @willhelliwell Год назад

    Just signed up today and paid for it. The reader experience is great. Then readwise just sits in the background to sync everything to Obsidian.
    The only thing that doesn’t work for me right now is highlighting a PDF on mobile. It just doesn’t seem possible.

    • @nicolevdh
      @nicolevdh  Год назад +1

      Glad you're liking it! I'm not having any issues highlighting using the Reader mobile app, though... but I'm using Android so maybe it's an iOS thing? The Reader app works well on my iPad.

      Oh, good to know! Glad it was just that one PDF. I HAVE tried to highlight PDFs that just didn't work well, come to think of it. I think one had three columns with lots of images.

    • @nicolevdh
      @nicolevdh  2 года назад

I wish there were an easier solution to help you keep track of changes, but I don't know of any! I'm hoping this is something the Obsidian team will implement for Publish (which is what I use for it). Sorry about that!

    How does it handle websites with a paywall? Does the content get sent from the webbrowser (which would be great as its aleady "unlocked") or does Reader crawl the site with a remote bot (bad)?

      @nicolevdh  2 года назад +1

      Hey! This is a great perk, actually. I don't know exactly how they do it, but yes, I've been able to get around paywalls with this. It'll still show up as locked, but I send it to Reader and can read the whole article there. :)
