About

Import Kindle Clippings and show them in accessible way. The app divides clippings into books and gives an option to delete and like highlights.

All functions:

• import clippings
• browse clippings
• create backup and load from backup (saved to json file)
• export all clippings from book to txt file
• save application state in localStorage (app state is persistent)

What I Have Learned

This project was more goal oriented rather than education oriented. I wanted to have a simple application for managing my kindle clippings.

Development

You will need Node v16.13.1. I suggest using nvm for managing your node versions.

1. Install dependencies with npm install.
2. Run desktop application with npm run start or react app with npm run react-start.
3. Access application under localhost:3000.

Code coverage can be checked using npm run test:coverage. Currently it is about 66%, mostly integration tests.

Deployment

Application is automatically deployed to GithubPages using .github/workflows/main.yml workflow.
