What I love about readwise is that it works with so many different products. These are a several I've found useful including ones for youtube videos and podcasts.

How to take notes on (almost) anything and sync to Roam Research with Readwise.

Every person’s career is unique. There is no traditional path

I've used to manage my learning notes and personal task management for over a year now. I love it.

This is even truer now with ! Having a community of people shipping with you makes publishing much easier. The gamification still helps with continued exploration!
