In case you're worried about newsletters, for that i've attached someone's blog, YT channel(has an IDEA factory video) below. There can be some variants of this, but taking into account Price, Feature parity, developer teams, export,API functionalities I fully endorse this setup. Readwise is the glue b/w them and your final database(evernote/notion/roam) Connect Instapaper to Readwise, and Readwise can then export your highlights, notes, author, other metadata to Notion/Evernote/Roam. Then, read, highlight take notes on Instapaper. Raindrop connected with Zapier can send articles to Instapaper (or for that matter any other highlighter supported like Pocket) which have a certain tag. Now, think of Raindrop as your newsfeed, if you want to read some articles add #toread OR #instapaper tag (or whatever you want) to it. So, i treat Raindrop as a dumpyard, resource collector/curator, anti-library. I'll attach the link below for your convenience. So, in case you are not aware Raindrop has Zapier, IFTTT integrations. Now, my workflow will basically involve Instapaper, Raindrop, Readwise(necessary glue component), Roam Research( could be Notion/Evernote too) The Roam Research community is a big part of that as a lot of people have really great workflows (i'll try to attach some links if I can find them, otherwise ping me later on twitter)įirst of all, yeah Raindrop's awesome. This year finally getting some clarity on a great workflow. So, some background, I am a CS undergrad student and in the past 4-5 years I've been jumping from one tool to another, which basically involved checking the features of each tool(and its alternatives like Pocket-Instapaper) multiple times each year.

I think I might be able to contribute something useful here.
