Polar and org feed into Anki. Readwise gets Kindle highlights, will try to get safari sync working.

Would love to hear more in general if you have time to go into more detail, but my main question is at what point do you convert highlights into question and answer or clozed deletion Anki cards and how do you reference the source on those Anki cards for when you want to go back and read more details from the original source? I guess that's two questions

Ah. I try to do the card creation while I'm taking the notes in the first place. I'm not sophisticated with clozed yet, just Front/Back for Anki right now. That works well both for org-anki and for polar bookshelf.

Readwise lets me make an annotation clozed while reviewing it, which is nice. It auto-converts highlights into questions.

I'm experimenting with different card types in org-anki, using yasnippets. That's a nice workflow. I need to look into auto-collapsing them after I'm done editing them.
