Hello!
It would be very useful to be able to sync supernotes with Readwise, in order to write about idead highlighted from books in supernotes/

Hi @xBlady,
Thanks for the suggestion. We will see what we can do.
In the meantime, Pipedream have just added Supernotes to their supported integrations. Since they also support Readwise, it should be possible to create a workflow where highlights are automatically synced to Supernotes. Hope that helps!
I’d also love a Readwise integration

Me too, would be great for a full second brain workflow!

So @freisatz, shared this awesome workflow on connecting Readwise to Supernotes using Pipedream. Please do check it out → Readwise to Supernotes via Pipedream 
+1. I think a native integration with a simple API token drop-in is what’s needed here. It can work with Pipedream, but that’s an entire other service to pay for and personally difficult to justify!
I see lots of apps adding a native readwise plugin that brings over highlights with tags, images, etc! Please consider bumping this.
Are there any updates on this? I have been using Readwise heavily and am really missing a native integration that ports everything over with source links, tags, etc.
I have had to use another note tool just for their Readwise sync, which is really not ideal 
I think lot’s of users would appreciate this addition!

Behind-the-scenes we are working on a system that will hopefully make this very easy to do within Supernotes. Unfortunately it is not going to make it into SN 3.1, but it will be a top priority after this release, so hopefully it will arrive in 3.2. Please bear with us until then!

Is this feature any closer? I’m reluctant to switch my PKM to Supernotes when there’s no Readwise integration.
I need my highlights in Supernotes so that I can start to develop the ideas. I’ve tried the Pipedream workflow but it doesn’t work the way I’d want it to work.

Readwise integration is definitely something we’d like to add. The issue we’ve had is that we want to make sure any content we pull in from other sources flows well with the rest of the platform, and have doubts that “cards” are an appropriate abstraction.
As a more concrete example, we wouldn’t really want to create a card for each on of your Kindle highlights synced from Readwise (we’d end up spamming your system with cards), but we also don’t really like the idea of having a single card for all your highlights either (seems not very useful).
As I noted above, we have a plan for this but other things (like attaching files directly) are taking priority at the moment.

Let me be super opinionated for a brief moment, just to reflect on my personal experience with the integration of RW in SN.
I think the value of this endeavour comes with the opportunity it provides to ponder, paraphrase and contextualize a single idea within your personal body of knowledge. The card format is perfect for just that.
On the other hand, if an idea is not worth a card then why import it to Supernotes? In paragraph-based apps, it is tempting to just concatenate all notes from a single source, but does that serve a purpose? If we are after a dump for assorted snippets from external media, well, then there already is Readwise. There is no need to recreate that.
Again, that’s just my personal experience, and I’m curious if you can come up with an in-the-middle-solution that also fits with different approaches to Readwise usage.
