Thank you for making this tool! I'm interested in avoiding lock-in, and would love to be able to export every note as an individual markdown file ("export all your highlights to a single CSV file" is clunky, and unusable for me). It looks like: * I have to export every item individually, manually ("export highlights on a document-by-document basis to Markdown by going to your Library and clicking the down arrow as shown below") * I have to do this every time I edit an item inside Reader. Have you considered building a "folder sync" plugin that exports each item/note as a separate .md file, and keeps it sync'ed? Even a one-way sync would be better than the manual flow you currently have. Thanks for sharing the post and for taking questions here!

Heyo disqard -- thanks for the feedback! You can actually already do something like this. From readwise.io/export there is a bulk markdown option which lets you save all of your highlights/notes in a zip file, with one markdown file per document. Automating this via a kind of folder sync is not something we do yet, but could be cool! We do have an api that makes it really easy to pull out all your highlights/notes too readwise.io/api_deets#export

  Are there any plans to track reading sessions (start_at, end_at, sync position) and expose them in the API? I currently use Marvin 3 for iOS which hasn't been updated in years but is still better than other readers. I'd love to switch to Readwise but I'll really miss the reading stats I can generate from the marvin export csvs.
