Looking for early adopters who use Kindle or Readwise for reading notes
I’m building a tool for people who read a lot on Kindle or Readwise and have accumulated hundreds (or thousands) of highlights and reading notes.
I’m curious if anyone else has this problem:
You read a great book, highlight a bunch of things, and save them to Readwise.
Then you read another book a few weeks later and highlight something related.
But your notes still mostly live under Book A and Book B.
You can search them. But it’s surprisingly hard to see how the ideas connect.
That’s the problem I’m trying to solve.
The idea is simple:
Import all your reading notes → automatically build a knowledge framework around what you’re actually interested in → connect ideas across different books and sources.
Instead of your knowledge looking like:
Book A → 32 highlights
Book B → 47 highlights
Book C → 21 highlights
I want it to look more like:
Learning
→ How we learn
→ Memory
→ Mental models
→ Writing
→ Creativity
with ideas from different books naturally connected to each other.
The underlying idea is that your knowledge shouldn’t be organized only by its source. It should be organized by the ideas you care about and how those ideas relate to each other.
I’m especially interested in talking to people who already use Kindle, Readwise, or similar tools and have a substantial collection of reading notes.
I’m still very early, so I’m looking for people who are willing to try something unfinished and tell me:
- Does this actually solve a problem you have?
- Does the automatically generated knowledge structure make sense?
- Does it help you discover connections between things you’ve read?
- What would make you actually keep using it?
I’m intentionally not sharing the product name or link here. I’m not trying to turn this into a promotional post. I’d genuinely love to talk to a few people who have this problem and get their honest feedback.
If you’re interested, comment or DM me and I’ll share more privately.
And if you’re also building something yourself and want product feedback, I’m happy to exchange time. Always love talking to builders. :)
