I love reading about this personal automation hacks.
I do also live in my note taking app, Bear, and I tried a similar system with bookmarks: I was using Pinboard and set up automation to ingest bookmarks into Bear directly. It didn't work out because 1) too clunky, too many moving parts 2) automation was removing ME from the process, I was not able to "curate".
What I do now is just dropping relevant links in my notes, creating new ones when needed. It's dead simple and ugly and yet works way better than any other bookmarking system I tried.
Creating notes from ebooks is definitely more complicated, because we are constrained by the Kindle interface. I have yet to try connecting the highlights to my notes, thanks for the inspiration!
- Abishek_Muthian 5y agoI agree that it's fun to read about automation workflows, I like yours too. Using highlights, notes on Kindle and exporting `My Clippings.txt` opens a wide range of possibilities and should address your problem too. It's too bad that Amazon doesn't store the highlights, notes in the .txt file on its mobile apps and the cloud sync works only with the books bought from Amazon; Though individual highlights/notes can be exported as .html from each book regardless of where the books is from.
