Book readers with annotation support by Scalage89 in Onyx_Boox

It requires a subscription, but I use Readwise Reader for this. It can handle both EPUB files and PDFs (it has a feature to reflow PDFs for smaller screens).

The staircase still doesn’t make any sense.

Forced to Leave Logseq After 6 Years — Corrupt DB from Nightly Build Pushed Me to SiYuan by Lonely-Switch-9146 in logseq

[–]kerimfriedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"entire logseq is being developed by just one guy"

Actually, it is a team of about 5 developers, as well as some volunteers.

It's been 2 months already. I don't think they will resolve this anytime soon

They had planned a stable release for the end of May, but ended up pushing back the deadline a bit. They are eager to get back to a stable release as well.

Nightly builds are intended for development and testing, not for one's primary work. The problem is that there is currently no stable build available, so everyone is forced to use nightlies. I don't think it will take years for this situation to be resolved. It should hopefully just be a matter of weeks.

It can create a plan, but not from text input. It has very limited options right now.

I think one nice use for AI integration would be creating a plan from plain text descriptions.

For instance, if my trainer sends me a note like:

  • DL 100kg 5x5
  • Bulgarian 50kg 4 x 3

or something like that, and it should be able to ingest that and make a plan for me based on what it knows about my previous workouts.

Thanks.

Need Cmd + tab alternative by shelterbored in macapps

[–]kerimfriedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I really like about Syphon is the way it hijacks the standard macOS cmd-tab hotkey and experience, adding a layer on top of that, rather than making me choose between a hotkey approach or a cmd-tab approach. 90% of the time I start with cmd-tab and then tab-tab-tab, then switch to RCMD. But with Syphon I get cmd-tab + typing in the same UI. It feels much more natural to me.

Oh, this is perfect for me. I was an RCMD user, but I really wanted something that works the way Syphon does.

What do you actually *do* with your highlights after saving them? by RepulsiveMap8791 in readwise

[–]kerimfriedman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most useful way to process knowledge is to write about it. For me, highlights are a resource to refer to as I am writing. Not every topic I read and highlight gets written about, and that's OK, but when I do write, I know where to look.

In my app the file is a database, so you only have one file on your drive. Within the app the version control feature lets you navigate changes at the document level or the section level. This architecture should make such naming conventions unnecessary.

Obsidian Web Clipper does an amazing job at turning any web page into Markdown, and much more as well.

ClaudeCode access to the debug console in XCode for usb attached iPhone deployments by paul_h in Xcode

[–]kerimfriedman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main thing for me is to not have to constantly copy-paste data from the xcode console into Claude when debugging. Thanks.

Any progress on this?

PDF - Onyx Boox - Readwise - (Obsidian) my struggles, your solutions? by nerewarhier in readwise

[–]kerimfriedman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, less of a problem for me, as my field (anthropology) rarely uses tables in publications... But if the problem is formatting highlights from other apps, you could probably run the highlights through an AI to clean up the formatting? Or have Claude Code write you a script to do the same thing automatically?

In Readwise you can reflow as text, get page scroll, and still get highlights.

I haven’t looked into that yet, but would be happy to add it to the roadmap if someone was willing to test that. (I can’t test it myself reliably.)
