Excellent quick and comprehensive summary of a GREAT product built and supported by incredibly kind and competent people with some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced!
Hey there! 👋 Just wanted to drop a quick note because I'm super excited about your product! Reader is absolutely amazing, and I think it deserves even more spotlight - you guys are really onto something special here! 🌟 I'd love to see more in-depth video tutorials showing off all the cool features - there's so much potential to showcase what Reader can do! And hey, while we're on the topic of videos, a couple of technical suggestions: maybe we could get Erin a bit more in focus in the shots? That would make the awesome content even better! Also, in 2024, shooting in 4K would be super helpful, especially when showing app interfaces with small text - it would make everything crystal clear and easy to follow along! 📱✨ You've got such a fantastic product with Readwise and especially Reader. I really think pumping out more high-quality video content would help others discover just how awesome these tools are. Rooting for you guys! Keep crushing it! 💪 Best wishes for continued success! 🚀
Hey there! Erin here 🙂Thanks so much for the kind words! It's really rewarding to see how much people are enjoying these new vids. Admitted I'm just recording everything through my Macbook camera and mic right now 😅 Hoping to upgrade to a more legit setup in the future!
Excellent video Erin!! One small suggestion, since the content is condensed, it would be good to add to the description section the links to any other videos that you refer to. Great work.
Shoutout Hannes! Happy you'll benefit from that too :) Custom keybinds was one of the most common feature requests we received when we first launched Reader.
@@readwise-official hopefully you can give an example of combining multiple tags as a filter. For example, tag = California AND tag = climate crisis. I am assuming this can only be done with document tags as opposed to highlight tags? It would be awesome if it could be highlight tags is well.
@@DailyMindBrew Of course :) To use the exact example you gave, a query would be: tag:"california"AND tag:"climate crisis" This will pull in docs that have BOTH tags assigned. Alternatively, you could us OR as the connecting statement, and it will pull in docs with one or the other tag. The easiest way to create this view would be to head to your Manage tags page (read.readwise.io/tags) and then create a new view from tag int eh drop down menu. You can assign multiple tags to the same view there. Filtered views only accounts for document tags, not tagged highlights. To view your tagged highlights, you'll need to head to: readwise.io/tags
How does one get a compact view of the library/feed listing? The default is quite large; as a result I can only see 7-8 items on screen. I would prefer a compact listing with lots of items; and then be able to expand one of them to view more.
Hey there! Thanks for this feedback. At the moment we don't have a compact view mode, but its on our to-do list to add this. Feel free to upvote this feature request and I'll personally reach out to you over email when we ship that: readwise.canny.io/reader-features/p/compact-one-liner-view
I've been using reader (and before that Readwise) for a while. I love it on the windows desktop but don't find the android interface intuitive. Can you point me to a video specifically about navigating feeds (reading not inputting) on android?
Thanks for the kind words and your longtime support! We have a whole section towards the end of our feed tutorial that goes over how to process feeds both on desktop and mobile: ua-cam.com/video/uDr9N0rV4EE/v-deo.htmlsi=0k-n7LmQW-W1YzrB&t=434
Reader has always synced your doc location across devices! If your device has been offline for a while, it may take a minute for it to come back online and your progress to sync to other devices.
Is there supposed to be any integration between my tags in Reader and my highlight tags in Readwise? Highlights from my Reader articles will show up in my Readwise daily highlights feed, but the tags I add there aren't necessarily in my list of tags in Reader. It maybe seems like Reader only recognizes the tags I add in Reader (or maybe while reading the article in a browser tab after clicking the browser extension button) but not when I tag the highlight in Readwise. (I think that's what's happening, I haven't done any rigorous testing).
Hey Jeff! Right now any tags you add in Reader will show up in Readwise, but tags you create in Readwise (or other reading platforms) will nto be automatically added in Reader. It's a one-way sync from Reader ➡ Readwise. Hope that helps clarify things! If not, feel free to email me at hello at readwise.io and we can help you further!
I've had it for so long but it looks like abandonware to me now. There's only been one update in the changelog for 2024 and I've sent a query to support twice already and no response. I can't add anymore feeds, I think there's a bug. It's a nice app, but if I can't add more feeds, no point of keeping it.
Sorry to hear that! We have many folks who use Reader in Arc. My guess is there might be one of your existing extensions interfering. Feel free to email hello@readwise.io and we can take a closer look :)
Hey there! Just so you know, we offer 50% off for those in education or in countries with depressed currencies. If either of those apply to you, feel free to email hello@readwise.io and we can apply one of those to your account :)

I love Reader! Great introduction, Erin!!
Thanks so much for your support, Maneetpaul! Trying to get at your level 😂

Thanks so much for watching! Great suggestion. Just added the links to the video description :)
Great video, thank you!

Love the shoutout to German keyboards! It gets overlooked so often that we don't have a '/' key
Shoutout Hannes! Happy you'll benefit from that too :) Custom keybinds was one of the most common feature requests we received when we first launched Reader.
Great job and I love reader. Learned some new things today. Have to go find that filtered views video you mentioned
So happy to hear it was helpful! We'll be dropping na updated filtered views tutorial in the next few days. Stay tuned 😉

@@readwise-official thank you. Having the ability to parse my docs in this way makes things so much more manageable.
Do you think this works with Kobo Libra Color?

can it sync the last location across devices at this point?
Reader has always synced your doc location across devices! If your device has been offline for a while, it may take a minute for it to come back online and your progress to sync to other devices.
@@readwise-official yes but always the wrong location. esp the more images are in the doc
@@bosiefoobar This sounds like a bug. Can you send me an email at hello@readwise.io and we'll help you out?

I cannot get it to work on Arc browser. Is there a way to do this?
Check if there's some extension installed that is interfering. I use Reader with Arc since I got access to Arc more than two years ago.

its very good , but the only problem is its monthly subscription and it is expensive
