Description

Roam Reader - Web Annotation & Reading List for Roam Research Capture and annotate web articles directly into your Roam Research graph. Roam Reader brings your favorite note-taking workflow to the web with seamless highlighting, annotations, and a reading list that syncs with your knowledge base. Save articles, highlight what matters, take notes in context. Click any article to add it to your reading list, then highlight passages and add inline notes that flow naturally into your Roam graph. Your highlights and annotations appear as nested blocks under article pages, ready to reference, link, and build upon with your existing notes. Built for your research workflow. Organize articles by tags, add them to your Inbox, Shortlist or Archive, and edit metadata before saving. The extension works across your graphs and preserves your highlights even when web pages change. All your data stays on your device, syncing only with your own Roam database. Key features: - Highlight text and images on any webpage, synced with your Roam graph - Roam sidebar on any page you visit, so that you can nest your annotations and mix them in with personally written notes - Save articles to a personal reading list - Organize with tags and custom metadata Perfect for researchers, students, and knowledge workers who live in Roam Research and want to extend their note-taking to the entire web. _____________________________________________________________ Note: You must have an existing Roam Research account and at least one hosted graph to use this extension. _____________________________________________________________ Latest update (v1.2.0): schema update to fix issue where highlights had stopped syncing with Roam graph
