Raindrop - 1
knight • 23 Mar 2023 •
I love Raindrop as a bookmark service.
Early this month, I thought of removing Readwise from my optimized stack and replacing it with Raindrop. So I pay to upgrade Raindrop Pro to utilize it fully. Unfortunately, after using it for a while, I found that I can’t replace Readwise with Raindrop for a few reasons.
-
Raindrop highlight feature is not really that great and smooth compared to Readwise
-
Raindrop can save the Twitter Thread links, but Readwise can compile the whole thread.
-
Raindrop save the article for read-it-later, not clean compared to Readwise.
-
I manage to get some discount for Readwise services, which is still not cheap as Raindrop but is closer.
So I refunded my Raindrop account. It’s a good product but doesn’t fit what I do.

part 2 coming and I plan to re-subscribe, haha
So you don’t love Raindrop after all? My finger was hovering over the buy button after reading that first sentence. Just kidding. The last thing I want is anything that keeps me interacting more with Twitter.
