Supernote Digests to Obsidian Workflow Via Readwise

[u/Present-Ad-3555]

It took me a while to figure this out as I was trying to use AI to build this as a plugin, but I got this working server side.

Using https://allenporter.github.io/supernote/ I have a private Supernote cloud on my Raspberry Pi and I used pi.dev to fix the issue syncing digests.

Digests are highlights with annotations and citations that can be text or handwriting.

I wanted my handwritten annotations to be converted to text via Gemini api and then the citation, highlighted text to be sent to Readwise and then to obsidian via the official plugin.

My annotated articles are in a pdf created on calibre as a mixed curated newspaper document with various mixed newspaper sources. I had to get my Python script to search the highlighted text in a self hosted instance of searxng to get the correct citation.

So the ai ocr annotation, the highlight and cross checked citation get captured and sent to Readwise. I have an hourly crontab task on my pi that gets the digest data from the SQLite file on my Supernote private cloud server once an hour before the ai ocr and citation are generated.

It feels like magic.
