very interesting, however:

"We use cookies to track your usage. We use cookies to track your usage and to determine which features are used to improve the quality of Polar.

Additionally, we track application errors which helps us find bugs and to prioritize which issues to fix.

This data is sent to 3rd parties which provide the infrastructure necessary to provide the analytics services needed to analyze and store the data.

We avoid sending personally identifiable information at all times."

I am forced to click on "Accept" actually, which I don't like.

Overall it looks like calibre to me, however Calibre does not do highlighting



Polar Premium will allow you to disable tracking but you should enable it.

you can audit the code but we only track what features you use and so forth.

I can't build Polar without the analytics data as I don't know what's breaking and have no ability to optimize it and improve usability.


Maybe we should have an open source error tracking engine that can be self hosted. Too often I see this being the reason people freak out about using a product (only on hackernews though).


the entire platform is based on Electron (Node + Chromium)
