"Matter, on the other hand, calls itself the “one place for all your reading” for mobile devices. It is both a read-it-later and reader app that is designed to be a private reading experience."

"For example, you can denote yellow for highlights that spark an idea, red for disagreement, green for confusing concepts, and blue for important points."

"Since the app is focused on the reading experience, you are only limited to highlighting web articles, Twitter threads, and newsletters. If you prefer to listen to the web articles, Matter allows you to highlight audio as well."

"it has Pocket and Instapaper integration that allows you to import your library, including tags and folders."

"This is an intended feature as it helps users share their insights from other learners, though some people may not like it and prefer their highlights and notes to be private."

"Anyone who dreads having to look at the blank screen and not knowing what to write may benefit from reading this book and adopting the Zettelkasten system."

"It might even be beneficial for “content creators” as a whole."

"Want to make a video essay comparing two unlikely things? If you have notes about those two, you pretty much have a working “thesis” ready to be scripted and filmed."

"The book has a lot to say about the slip-box system. Using this system lets you have a “thinking partner,” which helps you create manuscripts without the dread of staring at the blank page."

"I’ve read articles on how to implement the Zettelkasten system long before reading this book. Both had changed the way on how I approach consuming media as a whole."

"For example, I use a note-taking app or a notepad to jot down the ideas I want to remember and retrieve later. I use Obsidian to gather, connect these notes, and share them in my digital garden."
