It does what I need, plus a lot that I don’t need or want. I’m working on it.”įor now, I’ve settled on Matter. This practice of easily reviewing your highlights consistently means that youll actually. We then send you a daily email with some of those highlights, resurfacing the best parts of what you’ve read at the right time. I received an email from the developer Ngoc Lou stating “Highlighting and notes are planned. Readwise makes it easy to access all of your highlights from places such as your Kindle, Instapaper, iBooks, and more.

A recent addition to Goodlinks is the ability to export a full article as markdown, plain text, or PDF. The only thing that’s missing is highlighting and highlight export. And best of all it’s a one-time purchase for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Articles and reading positions sync between devices via iCloud. In my opinion, GoodLinks is one of the best read-it-later apps out there. A clean, attractive reader view, highlighting, and highlight export. Here’s what I’m looking for in a read-it-later app. I’ve tested UpNext, and I’m on the early access list for Readwise. UpNext and Readwise are both in beta and early access sign-up is available. Pocket, Reeder, Goodlinks, Matter, Readwise, and UpNext to name a few. There are several other read-it-later apps to choose from.

Instapaper itself has an even nicer interface to the highlights, but unfortunately I can’t figure out how to share that. I already have a twitter account that provides a list of all the useful (I don’t tweet most of them) articles that I read, but as soon as highlighting became available I wanted a way to share these too, so I now have a tumblr account that has just the highlights and an associated twitter account I find this list incredibly useful, I can remind myself of key things that I read just by scanning less than 5% of the original text. When you read as much as I do highlighting is a revelation, it allows me to extract just the nuggets that mean most to me from flood of information that I read.

The real update though was the addition of highlighting to all the clients. Last week a new release added a superb re-design of the web site, providing something approaching a file system for the web. Even better Instapaper continues to improve in ways that align very closely to my evolving needs. I use it for 1-2 hours a day now and it brings joy to what was previously a complex, frustrating and distracting experience that used to take at least twice as long.

If I had to choose just one application that’s had the biggest impact on my life I would have to choose Instapaper.
