Show HN: Better reading retention via spaced repetition of your highlights

Hey HN, happy, but also a bit nervous, to be launching 1.0 of our reading product: Readwise.<p>We were first on HN about a year ago, when Readwise was a simple tool to organize Kindle highlights. Since then, we&#x27;ve completely overhauled Readwise into a full product which uses the power of spaced repetition to help you retain any type of book&#x2F;article reading.<p>The way it works is fairly simple: we import all of your highlights (from Kindle, Instapaper, iBooks, Highly, etc.) and then carefully select a small batch of them each day to send to you. You easily review those highlights through email or our webapp, and the result is that you&#x27;re constantly rereading (and thus better retaining) what you read.<p>There&#x27;s obviously a lot more (tagging, search, recommendations, etc.) and we wrote a bit more about it all here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.producthunt.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;readwise" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.producthunt.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;readwise</a><p>Curious if HN has any feedback, or qs on how the technical side works!
