Kindle Clippings Processor

The online service that I used to use for processing kindle clippings, my.clippings.io, released a new version this week. And lo and behold, everything useful is behind a paywall.

I only needed it for processing My Clippings.txt to export it into Evernote, and it’s just file processing of standard format txt, so I thought I’d just whip up a simple version for my own use.

Initially I had planned to write a script for it, like the ruby one I did for cleaning up the mess of record files in kindle, after you delete books. But on second thought, it would be nice if other non-technical people can use it easily too. So, here it is:

On upload of a clippings file, it will have your highlights grouped by book title and sorted by location and timestamp.

Error with css-loader

Error message looks like this:

var api = require("!./node_modules/_style-loader@1.2.1@style-loader/dist/runtime/injectStylesIntoStyleTag.js");

If you’re using Storybook, or multiple webpack configs of dev/prod, or simply multiple rules… Either way, this error means you’ve specified rules for CSS more than once.

For example, Storybook already has a set of default rules for various file types, and CSS is one of them, so you cannot specify custom CSS rules again.
