- Ashu Kumar

Computer Science Student from United States

What are you studying and which areas are you focusing on in your studies?

I've been exploring the field of Computer Science for a while now, with a strong focus on understanding different technologies and how they come together. My main interests lie in system scalability, API design, and writing efficient, high-quality code. I'm constantly learning how to build and optimize systems that can handle real-world challenges.

How do you use Web Highlights in your daily study routine?

Instead of losing important insights in bookmarks or scattered notes, I highlight key concepts and add notes directly on the pages I'm learning from. When I come back later, my highlights are right there, reminding me of what mattered most.

In what ways has Web Highlights helped you manage your workload or improve your productivity?

This has saved me so much time. No more rereading entire articles just to find that one key point. No more searching for where I read something last week. Everything I need is highlighted and waiting for me.

Can you share any specific examples of how Web Highlights made your studies easier or more efficient?

When learning about event-driven architecture, I came across multiple blog posts and documentation pages explaining different approaches. Instead of struggling to remember where I read a key insight, I highlighted the most important points directly on the pages. Later, when I returned to those sites, I immediately saw my previous highlights and was able to connect the dots much faster.

Would you recommend Web Highlights to other students? If so, why?

Absolutely! For anyone studying technical concepts like system design and coding, Web Highlights is a game-changer. It eliminates the need for disorganized note-taking, makes information easier to retrieve, and turns the web into an interactive study space. If you want to streamline your learning and retain knowledge more effectively, this tool is a must-have.
