behold as i "vibe flail" my way into this readwise API manager i've been hacking on in an attempt to make the service usable again.

every time i go to add or change a tag on anything in my @readwisereader account it hangs the browser and/or eventually crashes it. i think it's because i have like 80k documents and over 6K tags and 2500 of them are used once.

so i'm hacking together something with the help of an #AI and learning entirely too much about #readwiseReader's APIs and shortcomings.

alright it's actually worse than i expected. the fact that it takes about an hour every time i iterate over this code to un-fsck my #readwiseReader account is annoying enough.

for those playing at home:

## emory's @readwisereader

- 112,299 items
- 5561 tags in use
- 5447 of them are used less than 10 times
- 2659 are used 1 time

# action plan

- drop all tags used 1 time and test performance of adding highlight with metadata to Reader
- if still sluggish drop all tags used 10 or less times.

for those interested in my #ReadwiseReader annoyances:

their web UI crawls to a stop every time I try to add a tag to an ITEM (article, book, paper, feed) and i suspect it's cuz i have a ton of tags.

for diving into your #readwise data this repo is good: https://github.com/Scarvy/readwise-reader-cli and an AI will get it fast.

So I have exactly **5555 tags** in my Readwise Reader.

when it comes to triaging information, data, knowledge of any kind i over-taxonomize easily. gotta cull many but can't in browser

i've been using #PiecesOS the #AI Context Service that keeps track of what i'm working on across three workstations.

i found a repo of code that might let me cull tags from my #readwiseReader account but was having some errors so i outright asked "will this let me do this" and the co-pilot was like "bruh look at your terminal output it's clearly working, you just need to use the right flags duh"

now it's just the rate limiting. apparently i've got over 80k articles and feed items in there!

i don't suppose anyone has any @readwisereader tips for how to remove under-used tags? i have entirely too many and it makes Reader bog down to be almost unusable in a browser.

both my macs and a windows workstation; all have at least 64GB of memory and Reader tanks every browser when i try to sort tags i know i over-taxonomize but come on.

ugh my g-d the #readwiseReader highlighter extension is completely bogging down just typing in a tag. i wedged Arc browser for about four minutes trying to get focus back from the extension on my #windows11 workstation. good grief what is happening ><

my favorite #bookmarks software is now #linkding. i wanted to like the cli options (because agents) but i can still use them for that purpose (arguably more effective that way)

between linkding and #readwiseReader i haven't used pinboard except to search other user's bookmarks because it's a goldmine!

i use #Linkdy on iOS bookmarklet on iPad.

So far I’m liking #vivaldi. I’m still frustrated over #Pocket and the #Mozilla situation as I’d like to use a non #Chromium browser, but what’s with these tech companies run by non-profits that still seem to take a VC mindset. Still deciding if I want #raindropio or #readwisereader as my daily driver for read later

i like this idea a lot. i have been experimenting with using the kitchen iPad and an intel 27" iMac as a dash for the house. agendas, what is coming up, weather, etc.

an eink panel designed for this use case is appealing. i do have a #boox noteAir2 reader and notepad, but i can't find the right flow for annotations, so i end up using iPad more for reading than previously.

also #readwiseReader sucks on the Boox. performance is just terrible for app, browser too.

I’m doing a trail run of #readwisereader since #pocket is dead, and @ivory ‘s integration seems to be broken? None of the articles I’m trying to save are appearing in the reader app and I confirmed the aurthorization token

i use the RSS/Atom feature in #ReadwiseReader myself and it's great.

Quick question for advanced #tapestryapp #tapestry by @Iconfactory users: I would like to open blog posts from RSS feeds in #ReadwiseReader as it is my preferred reading app and I use it to capture highlights.

Now, Reader does not pop up as app to open links from an RSS in Tapestry, so it seems like it does not support Universal Links or provides URL schemes to permalinks. However, can I achieve that with a Custom setup? I need to dig into the support site, but this is a bit over my head.

Just shipped v1!

Reade is a LaunchBar action to interact with the Readwise and Reader APIs. It can add highlights to Readwise, save URLs and text to Reader, and list Reader items.

Really been enjoying some of the new design flourishes made to #ReadwiseReader in the past month. Among them a new header design for your saved items.

Still my favorite and most versatile read it later app. The king.

Nachdem Abgang des Read-Later Service #Omnivore teste ich seit ein paar Tagen #Readwise und #ReadwiseReader und bin bisher sehr angetan. Evtl. lässt sich damit auch mein bisheriger #rssreader ablösen, ganz sicher bin ich aber noch nicht ob mein bisheriger RSS-Workflow gut zu #ReadwiseReader passt.
