I have not, as of yet, found a way to centralize my annotations but Readwise is cute. Stores bookmarks, can cache entire articles so I can search them later, can annotate web content and PDFs. It's a bit old-school and not very sexy but it does what I need. But it's not my bookmarking.įor now, all my bookmarking and annotations are stored in Diigo. I also store URLs in there, when relevant. I do at time use the Roam-highlighter extension to grab important stuff from a website and add to Roam. My current workflow has all my note-taking and organizing in Roam. DEVONthink can also handle most tasks, but it struggles with multiple devices and is Apple-centric, something I tend to avoid. Highlighting a web article in Evernote is doable but it's not very easy and it's difficult to extract annotations. In some cases, live with Evernote and DEVONthink, you can come really close, as all the features are there.
All of these started as something (notetaking, bookmarking, highlighting/annotating), they still handle that core aspect great but struggle to put the entire knowledge management piece together. For this part of the workflow, I've tried Evernote, Notion, DEVONthink, and countless other tools (Raindrop, Polar Bookshelf, Google Bookmarks, Instapaper, Pocket, Pinboard, and probably more). Reading is active and requires highlighting and annotating. I need to bookmark it, but I also like to keep a cached copy for full-text searching and a way to annotate and extract annotations.
#READWISE VS INSTAPAPER PDF#
For me, a web article and a pdf I download should have the same workflow. My current workflow is broken down by content type. This is a topic I'm always researching because I do feel there is a bit of a tooling gap there. There are lots of great responses with valuable information on this thread.
#READWISE VS INSTAPAPER FREE#
In case you need anything more specific, feel free to ping me on Twitter🙂: But now I am considering getting it.īelow I've attached some links which you'll definitely find useful. I had tried Readwise back in the summer for 2 month trial, didn't activate the paid plan back then since I wasn't reading much at that time, and as a student have to watch my expenses too. Readwise is super useful for resurfacing your old highlights (it has spaced-repetition), it can also save twitter threads, and most importantly integrates with a ton of services acting as a glue.
#READWISE VS INSTAPAPER PRO#
The reason I took Raindrop PRO and call it a library/anti-library 🤷♀️ is because when I want to read on a topic, I can search the term, the full-text feature(yes it saves, archives all contents of a page) will give me articles on that topic, I can quickly add a tag, say #instapaper in bulk to all of them and then read on Instapaper(zapier sends them here). He uses Inoreader for that(RSS), I personally have a Gmail label,filters with all newsletters. In case you're worried about newsletters, for that i've attached someone's blog, YT channel(has an IDEA factory video) below. There can be some variants of this, but taking into account Price, Feature parity, developer teams, export,API functionalities I fully endorse this setup. Readwise is the glue b/w them and your final database(evernote/notion/roam) Connect Instapaper to Readwise, and Readwise can then export your highlights, notes, author, other metadata to Notion/Evernote/Roam. Then, read, highlight take notes on Instapaper. Raindrop connected with Zapier can send articles to Instapaper (or for that matter any other highlighter supported like Pocket) which have a certain tag. Now, think of Raindrop as your newsfeed, if you want to read some articles add #toread OR #instapaper tag (or whatever you want) to it. So, i treat Raindrop as a dumpyard, resource collector/curator, anti-library. I'll attach the link below for your convenience. So, in case you are not aware Raindrop has Zapier, IFTTT integrations. Now, my workflow will basically involve Instapaper, Raindrop, Readwise(necessary glue component), Roam Research( could be Notion/Evernote too) The Roam Research community is a big part of that as a lot of people have really great workflows (i'll try to attach some links if I can find them, otherwise ping me later on twitter)įirst of all, yeah Raindrop's awesome. This year finally getting some clarity on a great workflow. So, some background, I am a CS undergrad student and in the past 4-5 years I've been jumping from one tool to another, which basically involved checking the features of each tool(and its alternatives like Pocket-Instapaper) multiple times each year. I think I might be able to contribute something useful here.
