    I've never tried this myself but you could try importing the CSV in sqlite and then run aggregate queries over it. Does that sound useful?

    How is annotation support on Koreader? Eink devices in general seem to be a hassle to annotate on compared to my phone.

    I've wanted SRS features as well but no ebook reader seems to do annotation exports well. I get by with Moon+ Reader and wrote a few Obsidian plugins to help me with parsing export…

    Any way to do tap to pay with banking apps? I'm too used to the convenience but trying to be privacy conscious where I can.

    Oh, and while we're on the topic, anyone have something like a media database where they record metadata about what they watch and when? I want to create yearly media dashboards an…
