After you choose the number, please click Copy Link. Once you have copied the link, you are ready to show it, so please open the place where you want to paste it.
Display on Notion
On the Notion page, please search for an Embedoption.
Then, you can just paste the link directly into the space. When you click the Embed Link button, that’s all. You can display your reading list.
Display on Obsidian
Once you copied the link, you can just paste it into the Obsidian note. When you change the view, it shows the reading list.
Advanced Setting
If you want to change the size of the reading list, you can change it in the iframe code.
In the iframe, you can see iframe width="900" height="560", that if you update the number, the size of the reading changes. Please try to adjust as you want.
Display on other websites
If you’re managing your website, you can display your reading list by simply putting the iframe link on the page.
Medium and Substack are currently unavailable to display the reading list. And we’re checking and working on WordPress now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
