Grow wiser and retain books better: Readwise sends you a daily email resurfacing your best highlights from Kindle, Instapaper, iBooks, and more.
Highlighting is great, but what's the point if you're never going to see any of those highlights again?

How often do you finish a book, only to forget the key ideas two weeks later? We don't remember things by just reading them once. Readwise fixes this using a scientific process called Spaced Repetition . We surface your best highlights back to you at the right times, and let you review them every day with the daily email and app. With your highlights all in one place, Readwise gives you the power to organize and connect these ideas in new ways.

Retool▲640Hi all, founder @ Retool here. We initially launched Retool on HN five years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14515494. The feedback was extraordinarily helpful then (e.g. we launched source control, on-prem, etc. based on HN comments), and we’re grateful for all of it. Today, we’re excited to get HN’s thoughts on one of our new products: Retool Mobile. It lets you build and deploy mobile apps in minutes, not days. The idea is there is a large class of line-of-business mobile apps, and the process of getting a simple form + button on a mobile device, in a native app,…
