Problem

Many people who read on Kindle e-readers highlight passages and take notes as they go. Amazon leaves all of it in one undifferentiated My Clippings.txt file, which means that by the time you want a passage back, it is effectively gone.

Solution

A desktop application built with Electron. It reads the clippings file from the Kindle’s /Documents folder, parses it, and returns a folder of books as Markdown files, one per book, and in plain text.

It can also surface a random highlight, which is my favourite use case.
