i use instapaper which covers pretty much what you do here except it works for any webpage/link not just HN, also hooks into readwise a spaced reptition app on my phone, though this feature is not free. Also hooks into a Notion page for anytime reviewing of highlights. instapaper, readwise and Notion are not perfect (standalone or in conjuction). But they do work pretty well for now. I eagerly await a future where these tools become more robust.

How do you sync readwise and Notion? I also have use Instapaper & Readwise but would like a center page for all highlights for easy searching

  there is an integration. Its in Beta and i believe it wasnt free but it does work. go to readwise -> dashboard -> export -> Notion. be sure to test its working by doing the flow over a week or so, i remember the initial setup was not seamless, but i just went to look now and its been doing its job well for a while now. Youll want to ensure it exports when you take new notes, so you dont have to manually export. Cheers.

Does instapaper have HN formatting service now (or) do you manually send HN story through it? 'Send to Kindle' extension of Amazon can do the same if anyone is looking for a free option, But 'HN to Kindle' formats the HN page and sends as a book. Before Obsidian, I tried 'Kindle 2 Notion'[1] to sync My clippings.txt from Kindle to notion, But Notion is too heavy for my liking and I didn't use it for any other purpose. Obsidian is built upon self-hosting principles, The obsidian-kindle-plugin referenced in the post is useful for anyone to self-host a read-wise type setup.
