Obsidian Reader
I was excited to see make this announcement last week: I use GoodLinks for saving most things I find on the web because it does great saving most things (and parsing text from most news outlets, including Apple News), highlighting is very easy in it, and I can easily export my highlights in Markdown to Obsidian (although in my desire to cure my digital hoarding disorder, I’m trying to do that less).
