Feature Request: Save text in Obsidian as Readwise highlight

[quinn-p-mchugh]

Hey there,

I'd like to request a new feature: save text in Obsidian as a Readwise highlight.

Background / Motivation

I was an Obsidian user before I was a Readwise user. As a result, I have a hundreds of great quotes and notes in Obsidian that I'd like to save to Readwise for periodic review.

Details

This feature would allow Obsidian users to highlight a piece of text in their vault and save it their Readwise as a highlight.

Proposed user flow:

1. User highlights text to-be-saved
2. User right-clicks text to open context menu.
3. User selects "Save to Readwise" in the context menu.
4. A dialog box appears, displaying the text to-be-saved, and asks the user to specify the Title and Author of the freeform book the highlight should correspond to. The values in these fields should be persistent, meaning these fields should be automatically filled based on whatever values the user previously entered when they last saved a highlight. For convenience, a Clear button should also be provided, which clears the Title and Author values.
5. Once the user clicks a button called "Save to Readwise," the text will be saved as a Readwise highlight under the freeform book specified.
6. A confirmation dialog is shown, confirming the text that was saved, the title & author of the freeform book the text was saved to, and a link to view the new highlight in Readwise.

There are likely some kinks to work out related to ensuring duplicate freeform books aren't created.

Thanks for considering!
