# Alternative Approach to Handling Readwise Highlights This is a cool experiment and many are using it, though I never intended for anyone to use it. I built it for myself. ## Info on the experiment. My problem with highlights from [Readwise](https://bit.ly/rwreader) is that I have MANY of them. So I wanted some GTD like "inbox" to "processed" workflow. With this tool, the "Readwise Inbox", you can see an "inbox" of unprocessed highlights from [Readwise](https://bit.ly/rwreader). You process each highlights one at a time until they are done. You can skip a highlight, copy a highlight and do a few other useful things with them. > Sign up for a Readwise trial and get an extra 30 days in your trial: [Signup link](https://bit.ly/rwreader) ### More Information - Github: [Repository for Readwise Inbox](https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian-readwise-inbox) - [Twitter posts with video of Readwise Inbox in action](https://twitter.com/TfTHacker/status/1502376427701870597) ### Original Tweet with Explanation <iframe border="0" frameborder="0" height="763" width="550" src="https://twitframe.com/show?url=https://twitter.com/TfTHacker/status/1502376427701870597?s=20"> </iframe> ![[promo-embed-02]] ## Related Information - [Using Readwise’s highlight\_id as a single source of truth in Obsidian](https://medium.com/obsidian-observer/using-readwises-highlight-id-as-a-single-source-of-truth-in-obsidian-b1de98a8b87c): When exporting your notes to Obsidian, the export can be tweaked to use the Highlight ID from [Readwise](https://bit.ly/rwreader) to create a single source of truth for your highlights. - [Leveraging Backlinks in Obsidian and Readwise Export](https://medium.com/obsidian-observer/leveraging-backlinks-in-obsidian-and-readwise-export-aebb52ffa9d4): With a little work, you can make your imported Readwise highlights stand out in your Daily notes pages. - [The Obsidian Vault Rebuild — Customizing the Readwise Feed into Obsidian with Metadata, Dataview, and Permanent Links | by Kara Monroe](https://iwannabemewhenigrowup.medium.com/the-obsidian-vault-rebuild-customizing-the-readwise-feed-into-obsidian-with-metadata-dataview-1314317c8916): A great implementation by Kara Monroe of customizing Readwise imports into Obsidian to improve leveraging Readwise in Obsidian. ![[promo-embed-newsletter]]
