Thank you. Actually, this project was inspired by an iOS app called Readmate; this app imports highlighted text from another reading app and randomly displays the highlight text when the user opens the app.

I think this feature would also be very useful in desktop applications (especially calibre).

When you've taken many notes on a large amount of highlighted text, these notes can easily evoke memories of past reading experiences. These moments are always delightful and make you to relive some pieces of thoughts you've had.

Booktoast should be available shortly on calibre's plugin updater.
