Hey, Logseq looks really cool. I really love that there are so many options nowadays for knowledge management. It's interesting to hear from more people that their onyx device works great, I've really struggled with making mine a

Yeah, I think it's just about starting the thing up. It takes like 30 seconds to wake up and become responsive, and then indeed the UI was a bit unintuitive sometimes, so overall it leaves a lot to be desired. I think it's decent

Hey, there's no docker setup just yet. I'll try to get to that this week but for now it's just the standard python install.

This was roughly what I wanted as well. I had a Onyx Boox e ink tablet. I was adding sites to lurnby and then reading them on the Boox to use the Lurnby features. But the Boox was just too slow and unresponsive for this type of thing, I was

Thanks for the kind words! I didn't realize kindle kept track of your dictionary lookups. That's a cool thing and makes a lot of sense to review those.

Yeah, I feel this pain. I don't have any really great ideas on this front. I've started to have different review sessions using the filter function in Lurnby, but it doesn't really solve the fact that the amount to review jus

I didn't know. I thought it was based on Arc90's original code from 2010, but I imagined that was js. I initially was using the python port by ReadabiliPy, but it wasn't working as well as the js code in most of my tests, so

Thanks for the kind words. I would need to look over their tool in detail (it looks great btw) to really think through the details of how an integration might work. One of the things I want to add to the application soon is some sort of &qu

Learnawesome is very nice. Curating learning paths is a real pain these days. It's amazing that there's so much information available, but it's now almost impossible to make decisions. So I think there's a lot of importa

Woah. Very cool. You seem to make it really easy for people to get started and tick a lot of the boxes around privacy. Today's been a bit of a nervous day for me actually haha, I didn't really expect this attention. Open sourcing

Oh 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 h

I remember looking at that. They are indeed really cool. What do you mean with notes and highlights you should revise? What kind of revisions are you doing?

Hey, thanks. I'll look into that. The way I've been personally dealing with paywalled content is just copy and paste. I use the "manual" option from "add content" and then save it that way. Alternatively, I als

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. N

Thanks. I'll probably look into a dockerfile option. Does format as a shell code block mean write it in a way that it can just be copied and pasted easily?

Thanks! I agree with you. My goal isn't to actually make it a closed system like this. I ultimately want to make it as easy as possible for you ppl to get content in and out of the tool. Lurnby doesn't have the NICEST reading expe

Thanks! I actually haven't contributed to any open source projects myself. So this would be my first time figuring out what's involved. This helps give some structure for what I should do to make it easier for ppl to engage. Altho

It is web based. That way you can read on the computer and continue reading on the phone or any other device. A version that runs just locally on the computer would also work, but that wasn't the main focus of this particular iteration

You can export yes, not entirely sure if you can export to Anki. You can export in either txt or json. And you can export 3 ways. 1. All highlights & notes from an article (article = epub / web article) 2. All highlights & note
