> add add epubs, pdfs, and web articles to the app => highlight and add comments => tag and organize highlights => review them with a spaced repetition system This would make way more sense if it was an add-on to existing information/knowledge management software like Zotero. The base software would take care of the "add documents to the app" workflow, and the "highlight excerpts and use them to build cloze-testing SRS cards" thing could be an added feature. Having everything be a single "app" can be too limiting at times. |

I agree with you. My goal isn't to actually make it a closed system like this. I ultimately want to make it as easy as possible for you ppl to get content in and out of the tool.
Lurnby doesn't have the NICEST reading experience possible. It's better in some aspects, but struggles in others. The plan was always to figure out how to allow people to read wherever they are comfortable and still make use of the tool to facilitate memory and retention.
First step is to decouple highlights from in-app articles, and allow them to be linked to external sources instead.
Then it's just a matter of importing them into Lurnby. I actually set the foundation for that already with another script I wrote recently. https://github.com/Roznoshchik/spreadsheet-importer
This would also allow the web extensions to be more useful and allow sending just highlights instead of articles.
My goal is to make it flexible to integrate with any existing workflow, but also be self sufficient for people who don't use any existing tools.
But it's a long road to get there.
