June 8, 2021 Beta version complete!

It took a few months of part time work, but the beta version is ready to share. I've been hesitating on sharing it out, because it's where the rubber meets the road, and I find out if the idea resonates! So far, this project has been a success, given how much I've learned.

March 1, 2021 Started building proof of concept

I began researching what tools could help me build out a proof of concept. There are many web-hook tools out there like Zapier, but I needed more control and customization.

After some googling, I came across www.pipedream.com - which is the perfect mix for me – it's easy to get up and running, but also allows for deep customization, since you can just write Node JS and include any node packages you need. I haven't worked with node much before, so it's been a learning experience (which is part of the goal). They have a great support community, and have been super helpful in troubleshooting.

About

I love listening to podcasts while running. However, I grew frustrated with not having a way to quickly capture my highlights. Podcast Highlighter allows you to capture your highlights, sync to Readwise, and other PKMs.
