Title: Hey HN, cofounder of Readwise here. We&#x27;ve been working on this cross-platform reader app for about 2 years, excited to finally share it in public beta.<p>Probably the most notable thing that makes Reader unique is that it supports almost any content type you could want to save&#x2F;read&#x2F;highlight:<p>* web pages<p>* emails&#x2F;newsletters<p>* PDFs<p>* ePubs<p>* twitter threads<p>* youtube videos (with transcripts)<p>* RSS feeds<p>With all of your knowledge content in one place, we built powerful reading and highlighting, as well as a bunch of novel triage&#x2F;organization features, so you can actually consume &amp; stay on top of that content!<p>There are also a lot of advanced features too, such as text-to-speech, GPT3 questions&#x2F;summaries, super powerful highlighting (that includes markup and images), complex filtering&#x2F;search (with our own query language), sleek mobile triage UI, keyboard shortcuts for reading&#x2F;everything, integrations with note-taking apps, a browser extension for both saving pages and highlighting them, and much more.<p>If anyone&#x27;s interested in more product details, as well as our business model, etc, we wrote a detailed launch post: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.readwise.io&#x2F;the-next-chapter-of-reader-public-beta&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.readwise.io&#x2F;the-next-chapter-of-reader-public-b...</a><p>Predicting a common question: Reader is part of the Readwise subscription pricing right now in beta -- there&#x27;s a 30 day free trial and then it&#x27;s paid at ~$8usd&#x2F;month. We also promise to not raise this price for existing subscribers.<p>Reader is also fairly technically interesting -- our iOS, Android and webapp all work fully offline and sync your reading data&#x2F;progress with eachother. Our search on web is built with wasm sqlite. We have a fairly intense pipeline for cleaning web articles (removing ads&#x2F;styling). We share lot of modules around syncing&#x2F;highlighting across all platforms, etc...<p>Happy to answer any questions :)
