While I would love to have DTTG become my read-it-later app (and all it really needs is to allow web archives to be annotated), I have found a workaround that might help others.
This requires:
- DEVONthink
- Dropbox
- Feedly (paid account)
Most of my articles come to me via my blog reader Feedly. They have a nice clean interface for reading, highlighting and taking notes. The trouble is, you can’t export those annotations with the usual memberships. But you can have Feedly backup content to Dropbox. And best of all, when Feedly backs up an article, it also includes the highlights and notes you added.
So what I did was this:
- I created a “board” in Feedly (these are categories for saved articles) called “Add to DEVONthink”.
- I connected my Feedly account to Dropbox (instructions). This makes Feedly create a Dropbox folder for every board you have. When you add an article to a board, it saves an HTML copy of it to its respective folder.
- I indexed the Dropbox folder “Add to DEVONthink” to my DT database.
So now, after I read and annotate an article in Feedly, if I want it imported into DT I just add it to the board “Add to DEVONthink”. And the article gets automatically added to my DT database, annotations and all.
