I feel that the Markdown format is more suitable for reading; I always get distracted when reading articles on social media.

I love it! It's like Joplin but better. I need this.

The dual-pane workflow is the clearest value for me: reading on one side while turning highlights and AI discussion into Markdown notes on the other side. That is a strong fit for people who already keep a Markdown knowledge base. I would make the export examples very visible, because clean Markdown output is probably the feature that will make users trust the tool.

A great productivity and writing tool. I hope it can support mainstream storage systems.

Exporting highlights plus reflections as clean Markdown is the killer detail here — most read-it-later apps trap your annotations in their own database, and getting them out into an Obsidian/Git workflow is always painful. Question on the EPUB side: does the AI assistant keep chapter context when you ask about a passage, or does it only see the highlighted excerpt? Long technical books are where shallow context usually breaks down.

Pairing a distraction-free reader for EPUB/PDF with an always-on AI to question the text is a smart combo — the read+chat loop is where most “chat with your docs” tools feel clunky. Does it keep highlights/notes exportable back out as clean Markdown, and can the AI cite the exact passage it’s answering from? That citation piece would make it much more trustworthy for research.

The read + chat + write loop in one view is the right call — most 'chat with your PDF' tools yank you out of the reading flow into a sidebar. The thing that'd sell it for note-takers: does the extracted knowledge export to plain Markdown / Obsidian, or stay locked in-app? Portability is usually what makes a reading tool stick.

The chat piece is what sets this apart from the dozen markdown editors I've cycled through - most stop at read + write. Is the chat grounded in the current document, or does it reach across a whole vault of notes? That's the line between a nice extra and something I'd actually keep open all day.

The dual-pane setup is what clicks for me — annotate on the left, draft on the right, and walk away with clean Markdown. Most read-later tools dead-end at highlights; turning the conversation into an actual draft is the step everyone skips. Nicely done.
