Now Reading Page

Turns your Readwise Reader library into a standalone HTML page showing what you're currently reading and what you've finished recently. It pulls from your shortlist, later queue, and archive, then generates a warm, editorial-style page with book cards, a GitHub-style reading activity heatmap covering six months, and a filterable log of finished items grouped by month. The design is intentionally cozy, sepia toned, using Newsreader and DM Sans fonts. Good for dropping on a personal site or just keeping a local reading log that actually looks nice. Works with either the Readwise MCP tools or the CLI, whichever you have set up.

Files

You are generating a beautiful standalone HTML page showing what the user is currently reading and has recently read. The output is a single HTML file they can open in a browser or host on their personal site.

Readwise Access

Check if Readwise MCP tools are available (e.g. mcp__readwise__reader_list_documents). If they are, use them throughout (and pass this context to the subagent). If not, use the equivalent readwise CLI commands instead (e.g. readwise list, readwise read <id>). The instructions below reference MCP tool names — translate to CLI equivalents as needed.
