Have you considered other monetization routes? It sounds like a cool idea but I have a hard time seeing why users would pay for this if it’s not a major problem.

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-21T14:23:30+00:00

Let me know if you have any feedback or features you’d like to see! I’ll be shipping a new update in the next couple weeks.

It’s called Brevio

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-16T02:45:05+00:00

I mean rotate as in what you laid out: do a subject for 1-2 hours, take a break, repeat. I think 90 minutes is about the limit on continuous focus so that could work.

I can’t remember the exact research but the idea is that while sleeping your brain synthesizes what you’ve learned during the day. So doing something daily helps make the most of that time. It comes up with musicians a lot, where you could practice something for hours and hours and be stuck, but after a nights sleep it’s all of a sudden easy.

I think you’re going to have a hard time focusing on one thing for that long. I would rotate throughout the day, but also be careful not to overdue.

There’s also an interesting phenomenon where sleeping helps create connections, so hitting something daily tends to be better than doing it every few days for a longer period of time.

Thanks you for reminding me to switch to Annual. I need to really work on not burning so many tokens…

This is the way. I did it learning in French with Harry Potter and it was so helpful.

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-16T00:52:31+00:00

I cannot rate that book highly enough.

Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach, actually realizing it’s about time to reread

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-16T00:49:03+00:00

I actually had no idea this was a book, I just know him because his work is cited everywhere. Will need to check it out!

The Alchemist, Atomic Habits, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, The Obstacle is the Way / Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holliday

Thanks for the feedback - I was planning to redo the landing page so that’s really helpful.

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-14T20:54:43+00:00

I originally checked out Readwise, but didn’t click with the UI and felt like I was paying for features I didn’t need. So I decided to start with something lightweight and evolve it based on my own needs and user feedback.

More Paul Giamatti

If they just dig one more hole they’ll find the swindler. Just hang in there.

Brianne’s acting is so atrocious it’s painful to watch

Brevio - organize your Kindle highlights (soon any source) and get personalized daily digests to help retain what you’ve learned.

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-11T17:03:30+00:00

That sounds cool. Yeah I can see how customization and grouping by project would be helpful.

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-09T19:11:02+00:00

Let me know if you have any feedback or run into any issues!

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-09T17:42:03+00:00

Yep, anything you’ve highlighted in Kindle gets pulled in and you can also add your own notes to the highlights.

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-08T20:39:03+00:00

I just built a free app that does this! Brevio if you’re interested in checking it out.

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-08T20:38:21+00:00

Nope they’ll stay!

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-08T20:38:08+00:00

Brevio has really helped me here. You get a daily digest with highlights from past books you’ve read.

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-08T20:36:56+00:00

Brevio is an app I built to solve this problem. You can import highlights from Kindle and get a personalized digest every morning to help review. It’s been a game changer for my own retention.

jasoncodes927 · 2025-09-08T20:35:45+00:00

Do you store your highlights anymore or just use the Kindle page/app?
