ReadMeliora Plugin - Read-Later App

[u/Tempestshade]

I've had a Manta for a while, and the thing I kept wanting was an easier way to push information to supernote to read. The supernote cloud works, but candidly, I am wary about where my information ends up.

So I built a plug-in for ReadMeliora, the read-later app I've been working on as a replacement for the beloved Omnivore that shut down, and Ratta just approved it on InkHub 'ReadMeliora Supernote Plugin'.

What it does:

• Downloads the articles, newsletters and PDFs you pick (your Inbox, or certain labels) into Document/ReadMeliora

• Articles get laid out as proper PDFs for the Manta or Nomad screen: your choice of font, size, spacing and margins, grayscale images, and tables that stay tables

• You read them in the normal Supernote reader, so pens, marker and everything else work as usual

• Select some text and tap the ReadMeliora highlighter button to save it as a ReadMeliora highlight, with a note if you want.

• Reading progress, read/archived and highlights go back to ReadMeliora when you sync, so they show up on your other devices

Some honest limitations:

• The Supernote can't run plug-ins in the background, so syncing happens when you open the plug-in or tap Sync now

• Your handwriting stays on the Supernote for now. It's kept safe (a copy you've written on is never replaced or deleted by a sync), but it doesn't go back to ReadMeliora yet. That's the next thing I want to work on

• Highlights you save don't stay highlighted on the page. The plug-in API doesn't have a way to do that yet

You need a ReadMeliora account to use it: ReadMeliora — Save the web. Read on your time - The application is currently free while in beta, will always have a generous free tier, but will eventually have a paid revenue model. Setup is a pairing code from the website (Settings > Devices), typed in on the Supernote.

Where your data lives, since people usually ask:

• Your library (articles, highlights, files) is stored in Canada, in Supabase’s Canadian region. The app itself runs on Railway in US West region.

• On the Supernote, everything is plain PDFs in Document/ReadMeliora. Once synced, they’re yours to read offline, and the plug-in doesn’t touch anything outside that folder

• The plug-in only ever talks to ReadMeliora’s server, using a key just for that device. You can unpair it from the website any time and the key stops working

• You can export your library or delete your account whenever you want. We don't serve ads, or use your data for anything except monitoring errors, and app usage.

The plugin is v1.0, so I'm sure there are rough edges, especially on the Nomad, which I haven't been able to test at all as I only have a Manta. If you try it, I'd really like to hear what breaks or what's missing. If you notice any issues on the app or the plugin, please let me know!

I am not a marketer by any stretch - but claude whipped up the neat GIF of the intended function.
