Upload your Kobo's KoboReader.sqlite and import every highlight (#242)
The first user-visible piece of the H1 Kobo highlight feature is live.
How to use it: navigate to /annotations/import, choose your Kobo device's KoboReader.sqlite file, and click Import. CWNG walks your bookmarks, matches each one against books in your library, and stores the highlights against your account. The result page shows the counts — how many imported, how many were already there, how many were on sideloaded books not in your library, how many were hidden on the device.
The uploaded file is parsed in memory and deleted before the response — your reading history is never stored on the server.
A view page comes in v4.0.83 (GET /annotations/<book_id>) — for now the data lives in the database and is also captured by the v4.0.81 backup safety net, so a future bug can't lose what you imported.
The web reader overlay (highlights visible while reading in the browser) is the final piece in v4.0.84.
Heads-up
You can re-run the import as many times as you want — already-imported highlights are skipped, never duplicated. Sideloaded books that CWNG doesn't have in its library are skipped this round; we may revisit that in a follow-up once the view + reader surfaces land.
