Research and reading
For anyone who reads a lot for work: analysts, writers, researchers.
Save articles and papers as you find them, follow the sources you trust, and highlight as you read. Your highlights and your own notes sit in one library, so a question can draw on both.
How it works
Step by step
Save a link to Reading, or follow a site’s feed. Bring an existing reading list in from your browser bookmarks or a read-later app.
Read in Reading and highlight passages in colour, with a note on each.
Select a passage worth keeping as a thought of its own and save it as a note, with a link back to the source.
Ask a question across everything you saved and wrote. The answer numbers its sources.
Export your highlights as Markdown, or your feeds as OPML, whenever you like.
What it uses
The Rill features behind it
Save a link to your Inbox or Later; Archive and Starred keep the rest in order.
Follow RSS and Atom feeds (a site’s address is enough) in folders, and import or export them as OPML.
Bring in browser bookmarks (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) or a Pocket, Instapaper, Raindrop or Pinboard export. Rill shows what is in the file before anything is saved.
Highlight in six colours with a note. Every highlight is on one page with a Markdown export, and a few come back each day in Daily review.
Select words you are reading and save them as a note of their own, with a link back to where they came from.
Answers number their sources, and each source opens at the exact passage it came from.

Features are on the web today. Plans are Rill Essentials and Rill; a line marked Rill plan is part of Rill, not Rill Essentials.
