“Had we pursued external funding, we probably would have been pushed into trying, say, social reading features, which are orthogonal to our stated mission.”

No ‘social readings … but the rest of the kitchen seems to be well represented.

@JohnPhilpin I have just subscribed to them, paid the annual plan and after having browsed Readwise and their reader for only a couple of hours… don’t regret it and I hope to be able to profit from their grandfathered pricing… how long have you used it?

@JohnPhilpin it seems to be so solid right now, but, at the same time, I’m wishing them to bring ever newer features :) Their reader, for example, combined with the main app, made me feel like dropping Matter, which I had been using so far…

@danielsantos I think they have a lot planned and are a good team with a good ethos.
