Hacker News Reader

Readwise looks really good, but I have a hard time understanding the value proposition. For the full application with the Readwise Reader it is 9 dollars a month. Then again its certainly worth more than a blue check-mark.

Adding on to what other user said, Readwise has GPT summary option for every article, inbuilt natural language narrator, support for epub files, and lot more. You can also save individual highlights and notes with each save. They also have very responsive developers and a very handy newsletter they send to users to keep them apprised of what is happening behind the scenes. Not to mention a brilliant iOS app.

I recently switched after years of using Pocket. The first thing that made me switch was Pocket rebuilt their iOS app but with only a few of the features. Many things, such as highlighting, were left out and support says they will be built sometime later.

The second is the parsing seems to work much better.

Also, I can subscribe to RSS feeds or sign up to email newsletters so that they go directly to Readwise Reader.
