Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Jishnu from India, founder of Highlights - a bootstrapped product! 🇮🇳
I've been working on this Highlights App for the past 5 months, it's about time I launch it.
As someone who loves to read, I've always been intrigued by the insights hidden in my Kindle books. But I often wished for a simpler way to revisit my highlights.
Drawing inspiration from the best aspects of existing apps, I envisioned a platform that prioritized clean design, focused reading, and affordability. My vision was clear: to create an app that seamlessly integrated with Kindle, allowing users to revisit their highlights in a focused manner.
Additionally, I wanted to provide features for tracking reading progress, setting goals, and organizing book lists—all while maintaining privacy and simplicity.
The result? An app that combines the best features of existing platforms while addressing their shortcomings. With a user-friendly interface, seamless Kindle integration, and affordable pricing, my app caters to the needs of everyday Kindle readers looking for a simple yet effective way to enhance their reading experience.

Who hunted Highlights?
Highlights was hunted by Jishnu. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
