Thanks for this project. I have not tried it out, but wanted to say thanks anyway.

I am wondering: What is your workflow like? What do you use this for? Anyway, the idea is pretty cool.

Hi @Miladiir !

The way my workflow is set up, I use Obsidian for all notes I think will come in handy in the future. As someone who has seen some of their favorite websites die, I make sure to save important content redundantly in a system I have control over. This includes, for example, blog posts that stand out to me, recipes, or book summaries from sites like Blinkist.

Readwise, on the other hand, is my repository for highlights (which then sync to Obsidian). I wanted a way to get content I want to highlight into Readwise without relying on the content being hosted somewhere else. In the example of Blinkist, Readwise doesn't have a way to sync highlights from Blinkist to Readwise (and also, I don't have a paid Blinkist account anymore).

To highlight another workflow, I talked to people from the Readwise team, and they said they use my plugin to get note files with a list of ideas into Reader and then highlight them there to get them into the Readwise spaced repetition.
