I have been using it for journaling, especially for memory-based entries where I can use some organization and research.

Giving it a shot - interesting I can get my data straight from 23 and Me, but not from Ancestry. (More steps.)

As a birder, photographer, and an active feeder of backyard birds, I find this very interesting! (Plus, looks like I am in a similar demographic as the video's protagonist.)

The book looks great. I would like to recommend to my grad-level marketing class, just concluding. (Fortunately we were online to begin with.) How would you like to be cited, APA format? (Normally this includes publisher, for a book.)

I use "Turnitin" for school papers (I am faculty) but I really like the easy cut-and-paste approach here. Question on accuracy though, based on a few trials. Also, is there a way to save results?

I need this and so I shelled out the $5 immediately. However, getting "Could not decode image gray.svg" error and nothing else happens (won't load into my Chrome browser on Windows 7 machine.)

Discovered this via Product Hunt (yay!) and found a tool that give me an unexpected ROI on all those Kindle highlights I had created over the previous number of years. I am largely a non-fiction reader (with some novels and memoirs thrown in), and bringing back the highlights I had noted in the past amazed me. Soon their daily email was a important habit to start my day, and I find my...

The Readwise email is part of my daily morning ritual. Sometimes I share via Twitter and/or Facebook, and other times I simply get inspired! What a great return on all those highlights I accumulated, not knowing if I would ever do anything with them!
Pros: If you have Kindle highlights already, Readwise makes those so much more valuable. It also inspires additional reading and...

Turned my photo sideways and I don't know how to fix. I got my story into Twitter but not sure how to add to other platforms. "Title" had me until I decided to have fun!
Pros: Easy and fun to use.
Cons: A few semi-mysterious fields.

I use regularly, living with its few flaws. Now new Google Calendar seems to over-ride it - I start Clean Calendar and get Google.

Hoping the cons can be cleaned up.
Pros: Looks great.
Cons: Dragging and dropping tasks between days does not work. Why are events mixed with tasks in the day's list.

I should be able to do this myself, but wondering if someone else has an easy path to a good Kindle version? I would like to save in my Kindle library with my own notes and highlights.
Pros: Great content, succinct and to the point.
Cons: Kindle version?

I put as my only con - "Only as good as the original highlights" which really isn't a con, and of course makes sense - no other way this can work. Fortunately mine are pretty good, and my reading has been diverse. It's fascinating to me how one can read an entire book, highlighting away, but then just one sentence, viewed later, can be so profound/interesting/fun. It's so nice to have this...
