Woah. Didn't know about this. I'm honestly amazed at how many similar things I've discovered that I didn't know about when I started this. I did look for similar tools, but didn't really surface that many of them. Not sure I would have ever started had I known the space was actually not as empty as it seemed.
Would love to know what about the flow was clunky and why it didn't fit your workflow. Might be a lot that I can learn from that.
- XFrequentist 5y agoThis was a while ago, but IIRC there were some fairly major software-reliability rough edges (frequent crashing/bugs/etc). Beyond that the major shortcoming was that it was constrained to pdf's only, and that's only one part of my reading workflow. For a while I was trying to sync a Zotero library (since I need citation management when writing papers), and do all my academic reading (which is mostly pdf's) in Polar, but it was just a bit too much overhead to stick with.
- roznoshchik 5y agoOh interesting. PDF's is what is hardest for me. I need a completely different approach to handling them than I have been using for web content and epubs. Thanks for sharing your story, it helps to put things in perspective. I wonder how much they've improved since you used them though. The website looks very sleek.
