Doesn't this does seem like a bit of an... exact rip off of turbopuffer? Down to the style of the webpages and the details of the pricing? Here's the pricing calculator, for exampl…

Thanks! Kobo is hard because it's proprietary software, but we would like to... However, there is a wide range of eink devices that already exist that run Android (check out Boox, …

I think the image urls provided in the RSS feed are just broken, eg this one is linked in the latest article: https://fabiensanglard.net/2168/french.webp

No, unfortunately their API doesn't return the actual html content of the saved articles :( just the urls and all the metadata: highlights, title, author, image, tags, location, et…

Cool! The import should auto-retry, but in case something gets snagged there you can also always do `cmd+k -> pocket` to retrigger a full import. Totally hear you on price.. Reader…

That is definitely one of the biggest painpoints, and we feel it ourselves for whatever it's worth! However, if you're just looking for a replacement for Pocket, you only need the …

You can connect Pocket to Readwise Reader ( readwise.io/reader ), via Pocket's API, which will let Reader view all the tags, metadata, highlights, etc. Even if you didn't want to u…

This is basically our exact experience at readwise.io too. Originally, everything was through Heroku. We started by moving our heroku redis and postgres to redislabs and crunchy re…

Honestly just loading all vectors in-memory (and stuff like sqlite, pgvector) is totally fine when you're dealing with O(100k) vectors, but beyond that all the workable options lik…

Sort of off topic, but for diagrams like the author seems to want (well, maybe a little lower fidelity, but good enough for any software system mapping I do), I love using Kinopio …

Related: I've ordered this build-your-own tensegrity kit, which is really fun to build https://pretenst.com/ Very different to read about vs get a feel for them in your hands. They…

Hmmm yes, I wonder if this project was discovered/shared here before it was really ready to be published. Very excited for the code/demo when they're ready!

Does anyone have a good idea of when OPFS will be broadly available in all major browsers? And what's best to use as a pseudo-polyfill in the mean time? Something relevant is absur…

Hey! Totally understand this concern with the browser extension. I mentioned this in another comment, but there was no way to build the full functionality without these permissions…

Unfortunately, there was no way to make the _full_ extension work with only activeTab, as we have some functionality that is incompatible (one such example: if you open up a page y…

Thanks! Yeah, part of the motivation for Reader was that our original readwise app was integrated with a bunch of these apps like Pocket and Instapaper... and we saw them completel…

Heyo! 1. Yes, absolutely. Ex-Pocket users are some of the most common folks using Reader right now. 2. We don't really have a bookmark import yet... we strangely haven't really had…

Heyo! Yeah, our parser doesn't work great with HN threads (yet! i'd love to get it working...) But in the mean time the Reader browser extension also acts as a web highlighter. So …

Yes, we do use common third party apps for analytics/ads. We do not share personal reading data with them. Amazon is just used for their Oauth login API for example (for an easy si…

Ah, sorry about that. Indeed, we do have that splash screen page, but for speed of development we just quickly threw it into our main webapp. Will change that for next time, thanks…

This is simply not true. We not sell user data to anyone at all. The business is _entirely_ funded through customer subscriptions.

Heyo disqard -- thanks for the feedback! You can actually already do something like this. From readwise.io/export there is a bulk markdown option which lets you save all of your hi…

We definitely do not share reading data with meta or google. Honestly we installed those a while back when experimenting with ads, but dont use them anymore… will look at ripping o…

It’s not fully offline — we sync data across your many devices, have a cloud service that parses the clean versions of documents using ML, etc It’s just that once your device is sy…

Heyo! Yeah there’s a free trial for 30 days and after that you can definitely export all data (links, metadata, highlights, etc)
