About a month ago, I was lying on my bed reading Geopolitica dell’intelligenza artificiale (2025, Aresu A.) on my Kindle. I don’t remember the topic covered in that particular chapter, but it was certainly interrupted by one of the hundreds of digressions of the author.
Anyway, as I reached the end of the chapter, I wanted to read my Readwise's daily recap. However, my iPhone was in other room. I didn’t want to get up; I was tired.
I have my Kindle in my hands; I want to read. Why do I still need my phone?
I didn’t get up to get my phone immediately. Instead, I thought a little about my issue. I’m an IT guy and I have AI at my disposal. Is ReadWise hard to replicate? What do I need to build it? Do I have time? How do I send notes to my Kindle? Well, the truth is that it’s not hard to replicate, especially in the AI era. I do not have enough time to write every single line of code, documentation, product specifications, and more, but AI can help me. I can use the technology stack I know very well (dotnet) to iterate quickly and spot AI errors easily.
So, the project began.
