    • This looks exactly like something I’ve been looking for. Would you ever consider making it available for self hosting ala BitWarden for a license fee? I’d be more than happy to…

    • Trying to sign up. I click the "Log in to Notado" email link and get a "401: Unauthorized The request requires user authentication." error. Am I doing something wrong?

  • Support for book highlights and Readwise sync

    • I use readwise.io as something similar. Does this support adding quotations from books? I guess you could reference an ISBN database as a hack for the primary key.
