I'm considering integrating RSS with Polar:

https://getpolarized.io/

Ton on my plate now trying to focus on shipping mobile and a few other features too.

I like the idea of Polar having data sources that are high quality and that the user can just easily subscribe to specific PDFs, research, or high quality content feeds.

We're also going to add social content discovery which is sort of like a Twitter feed but just people who are annotating content on Polar.

I am starting to get annoyed seeing you promoting it in every thread of a vaguely relatable topic. Could you please tone it down a bit? :)

Please stop using HN to spam your own site.

Looks nice but why does it need 3rd party cookies to work?

Also, copy-pasting is broken:

Also, expected keyboard shortcuts (eg hitting delete to delete a document) don't work.

I think polar needs a heuristic evaluation, it takes too many clicks to do certain things. Also, I couldn't figure out how to export a card to anki. Exciting project though, I check back every few months.

Yes, please do. It would be a great addition to an already great project.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to block users on HN due to spam?

Polar looks great! Just the kind of service I’m looking for. (Hope an iPad/tablet version is in the offing alongside mobile.)

Another +1 on this.
