@limited-mechanic-71085 doesn't goodreads and kindle already do this?

A lot of people complain about Goodreads interface so anything with a better UX is welcome.

We provide in-app way to carure book highlights from physical books
We can detect highlights already highlighted pages. I would really appreciate if you can check out the app and provide feedback

@limited-mechanic-71085 you are on the right track. Recently spoke to someone who were aggressively hiring for a similar app. Funded and stuff. So if you are a strong reader, there seems to be a good market for this. I tried out your app a bit. It is a great start. https://highlighter.com/ are the folks I spoke to recently

Thanks @loud-glass-33663 for trying it out the app
Are you an avid reader ?
I have heard about highlighter.
l
I read. Not as much as I would like to - but I am not into note taking as much or highlighting. I was speaking to the founder at highlighter who is a very avid reader and spoke about having very interesting discussions around passages and ideas of books. Basically he is building it for himself and was quite passionate about it. From what I saw of your app, you have all their requirements down (as per my understanding of his vision).

I see. Yeah even I did it pretty much out of a need for myself. I have a lot of apple book highlights and I didn’t see myself making use of my highlights. So I thought it would be good to get frequent reminders of book highlights in an email (sort of like flash cards). Hence came up with bookfeed. Thanks for sharing your POV.

awesome, I'll download and use - just moving all my book lists might be a pain @limited-mechanic-71085 is there a quick migration or export option from goodreads book lists? That would be very helpful too! Eg: I have like 100+ to read books
l
@swift-pilot-25722 there is a goodreads import available. Instructions are in the app. Basically export an csv from goodreads, email them to our email address and we automatically import books and lists from that and notify you once done. Excited for you to try out the app. Please let me know if you see issues. Thanks

perfect, thanks, will try test and update

Hey @limited-mechanic-71085 I use a service called readwise which you might want to check out. It basically resurfaces highlights from kindle books in my gmail.
l
Hey @calm-grass-85557. Definitely know about readwise. We do all what they do but for free instead of their paid service. Please check us out. Thanks

Interesting ! Will definitely check your app out when I get a chance :)

Thanks @calm-grass-85557. Would love your feedback on it. Thanks
