Rediscovery Feed

Lektr resurfaces random highlights from across your library — a low-friction way to reconnect with ideas you've captured.

How It Works

Every time you visit the homepage, Lektr shows you a set of random highlights from your entire library. Hit Shuffle to get a fresh batch instantly.

This complements the more structured FSRS-based review system — Rediscovery is passive and delightful, while Review is active and scheduled.

What Each Card Shows

  • Highlight quote in serif typography with curly quotes
  • Note (if you added one when highlighting)
  • Tags associated with the highlight
  • Location — chapter and/or page number
  • Book attribution — title, author, and cover thumbnail linking to the book

Shuffle

Click the Shuffle button (🔀) to fetch a completely new random set. The query uses PostgreSQL's RANDOM() ordering, so every shuffle is unpredictable.

tip

Use Rediscovery as a daily touchpoint — visit the homepage each morning to reconnect with three ideas before diving into your library.

API

The Rediscovery feed is powered by a single API endpoint:

GET /api/v1/rediscovery?count=5
