Readwise Experiment

Fast Company published this article.

I don’t usually read FC, but a friend on LinkedIN cross posted it, so I annotated with Readwise and set a public link here.

If you are a Readwise user, would love to know if you can add your own annotations.

@JohnPhilpin I’m guessing it will work on the desktop

@pratik should do / browser

@JohnPhilpin I don’t seem to have the annotation feature.

@pratik are you a free or paid user on Readwise?

@pratik and can you annotate on your own docs?

@JohnPhilpin Paid

@JohnPhilpin Haven’t tried it on mobile but didn’t show up on desktop when you had last mentioned it

@pratik do you have their Reader app on iOS?

@JohnPhilpin I can annotate directly on W11 Chrome. When my highlights and annotations save to Readwise, I can see my own highlights/notes but not yours. When viewing your public Readwise link on Android, tapping your highlight opens your note. If I save your public Readwise annotation to my Readwise with Android, I lose your highlight and annotation.

@JohnPhilpin Nope. Is it out yet?

@pratik it's beta - but i don’t think its hard to get onto it - drop them a line.

@topgold Thankoyu for such a detailed summary. What I was hoping for was some kind of collaborative highlighting process - but that doesn’t seem to be on the table.

@JohnPhilpin My students collab inside Office 365. I have to insert pages or headings or other style elements to minimise conflicts. We also highlight PowerPoint slides in some lab sessions. My best experience is with co-authoring Word docs and Office Sway decks.

@JohnPhilpin I see that I had sent a request in May. Never heard back. Just asked again

@pratik should be no problem - BUT - they are all in Buenos Aries on an offsite - clearly the company is doing well :-)

@JohnPhilpin You seem to be good friends with them. Please put in a good word for me.
