[Enhancement] Losing highlighted reference when taking notes #18

Closed sergio-gimenez closed 3 years ago

sergio-gimenez commented 3 years ago

First, thanks a lot @yannick-cw for this awesome tool, I use it very often within my reading workflow 😁.

Usually, while I read on my Kindle I take notes on the Kindle itself. I highlight the part of the text I want, and then I add a note on this text fragment. When I do that and then send it to Notion using notionfy, it syncs well, but it just keeps the note I wrote, losing the text fragment where the note belongs to.

Let's see an example. From the clippings.txt file, a note I took looks something like 

Factfulness (Hans Rosling)
- Your Highlight on page 135 | Location 2067-2071 | Added on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 10:02:43 PM

This is a note taken by me
==========

By looking at the clippings.txt, I'm not sure that it's so easy to extract the highlighted text. However, I think that might be easier to keep at least the reference, e.g: Your Highlight on page 135 | Location 2067-2071 | Added on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 10:02:43 PM. In Notion, it might look something like this:

Hey, sounds reasonable! I am happy that you like notionfy :) I think I could add an option to include this information in the highlight. Just need to find some time to work on it. Thanks for the suggestion.

@sergio-gimenez hey, did that work for you? Would be great to get some feedback, as I took some of my free time just to get this feature done for you :)

I just tested it and works fine. Thanks for the enhancement
