Overview
The Readwise integration is one of Janus’ most compelling features. Readwise is a 3rd party service that aggregates your highlights across multiple documents and resources. Other tools, such as Snipd, sync to this library allowing you to leverage this workflow across a broader set of media, such as podcasts and books.
Setting Up
In order to sync your Readwise library to Janus, you must copy your “access token” from your readwise account to your settings. You can your token here. We only read content from your library and never modify it.
Selecting What To Upload
You can only select one document at a time to upload by clicking the row in the Readwise document table.Search
Search queries scan across both the title and authors of your documents. Matches do not have to be precise to be shown.
Selecting Chapters
If the original source contains chapter outlines, you can narrow what you make flashcards to a smaller chunk of material. This keeps notebooks small, AI costs lower and also allows for a simple version of incremental reading where you generate cards after each chapter you read. At the moment, only epubs documents are supported and must come from their premium read-it-later app Reader
Types of Documents
- Full: The original source text is available. The notebook will be comprised of this text, and any matching highlights.
- Highlight Only: The original source text was not available. The notebook contains all the highlights + notes as text, one after another.
