You highlight passages in books and never see them again

I finish a book, feel smarter for a week, and a month later I can't tell you three things it said. My Kindle highlights are a graveyard I've never once revisited.Hacker News
The gap

Readwise owns this space and is good — but it's a $9+/mo subscription forever for what is, at its core, a daily email of your own data. The self-hosted 'my highlights, my cron job' version for people who refuse the subscription is a classic scratch-your-own-itch.

Readers who highlight but never review

Paste-ready build prompt

Build a Kindle-highlights resurfacer in Next.js. Upload the `My Clippings.txt` file; parse it into (book, highlight, date) rows in SQLite. A daily cron route picks 3 highlights weighted toward least-recently-shown and different books, and emails them (Resend) or renders a 'today' page. First 3 steps: (1) the clippings parser (handle the `==========` delimiter format) + import UI with dedupe, (2) rotation logic tracking lastShown/timesShown, (3) the daily cron route + a clean 'today's three' view.
