    1. You can’t annotate pages behind paywalls (as you can with our bookmarklet and Chrome extension).

      I'd also say there's a real danger that our proxy might be limited by websites that see our proxy traffic and throttle us-- possibly because we've violated a threshold of free use.

    2. So the realm of web applications that extend the browser is now becoming as balkanized as the realm of mobile apps.

      I think you try to lay this balkanization at the feet of recent cross-site scripting restrictions that affect bookmarklets. I don't think that's fair. I think people have wanted more complex apps, they've needed true extensions for those, and because browser extension environments are different, there's been the inevitable fragmentation. But this balkanization is not specifically due to recent changes only potentially exacerbated by them.

    3. But a new security regime limits the scope of what bookmarklets can do, and is forcing developers to create browser extensions instead — extensions that must be created and deployed differently for each browser.

      This central thesis seems slightly overstated to me. For instance, we created an extension before we even felt the pain of the bookmarklet restrictions-- because we wanted something that didn't need to be specifically activated on each page, but that was always there, as a button on the browser-- and that would stay on when turned on, event after you browsed to a new page. Particularly important for future features that are aware all the time. Also the experience of clicking to install, and having it there permanently is perhaps favorable overall.

      Maybe a softer message that highlights that bookmarklets were favorable option in many situations, but they're less effective now and that's a shame.

    1. فِي إِعْلاءِ شَأْنِ الوَطَنِ وَأَنْ يَعْمَلَ عَلَى مَا يَجْلِبُ السَّعَادَةَ لِلنَّاسِ

      A casual glance says selection and annotation of arabic appears to work. I also tested with a potential partner, Johnny West at OpenOil, last year, and he (a fluent arabic speaker) confirmed that our selection seemed to work on Arabic.

      (caveat: I could be completely wrong!)

    1. The Amtrak train that crashed in Philadelphia was traveling faster than 100 mph, two sources close to the investigation said Wednesday.

      I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering: How on earth can this happen? I doubt Amtrak tracks in the NE corridor are rated for 100mph anywhere, so how is it possible that the throttle even goes that fast? And-- clearly a system which limits speed according to local conditions, like curves, isn't beyond our technological capability.

    1. “You demean the office that you hold and you demean the church whom it is your sworn duty to protect and defend and advance,” said Lord Christopher Monckton, a prominent climate sceptic and former policy adviser to the former British prime minister, Margaret Thatcher. Monckton’s opinions have been refuted by scientists, who have called his statements “very misleading” and “profoundly wrong”.

      Why on earth does Monckton's voice continued to get amplified, even via a caveated mention like this? There are plenty of folks with no credibility and similar things to say. Why quote them?

    3. They’re even more surprised when they learn you can annotate a local copy of a PDF in a way that synchronizes with a web copy of the same PDF.

      maybe "a local copy of a PDF collaboratively with someone annotating another local copy, or the same PDF hosted on the web"....

      That's a little clumsy... but the key is to capture local:local as well as local:web

    4. And make sure Allow Access to File URLs is checked

      Hi Jeremy. Respond to this annotation-- I'll reply too.

    1. Genius is different from other annotation platforms which tend to be browser plugins; rather, it looms over the web which is to say that it precedes the URL—for example, past Genius annotations on the LA Times website can be viewed by Genius users and new annotations can be made by going to http://genius.com/www.latimes.com.

      Hypothesis provides this on our homepage, paste a link and you're brought to the linked page, with the application as a layer over it. You can then share that with others. Like this link to this page.

    1. Last week, Tilburg University in the Netherlands announced the cancellation of its subscriptions to the prestigious journals Science and Nature, citing budgetary pressure and an inability to cancel big deals.

      One wonders whether moves like this will become the norm. Rather extraordinary. How do students read nature articles?

    1. If you would like to know when and how a new feature will be introduced, there is nothing easier than to just visit the repository and check

      Also, we use huboard to manage our overall priorities, backlog and in progress items.

    2. on on-line pdf documents

      You can also annotate Local PDF files on your own hard drive. Anyone else with the same PDF file on their machine will be able to see the same annotations-- yes, really. Send someone a PDF via email and collaboratively annotate it together! (Just make sure you have "Allow access to file URLs" next to the Hypothes.is extension in your extension manager).

    3. Firefox

      A Firefox extension should ship in the next week or two.

    4. This problem might be solved thanks to the fact that every comment on Hypothes.is has its own url, which can be shared on social media or via e-mail, so an author can be informed this way (even if it is not the most user-friendly solution).

      As you say, in the interim this might work quite well.

    5. There is also no easy way of informing an author that someone has commented on his or her work, especially if he or she is not a Hypothes.is user

      We'll be working on a number of strategies for this.

    6. Last but not least, the interface currently works quite slowly, much slower than regular web content. This is probably because of the capacity of servers that host the project.

      We'd love to hear any performance issues. There shouldn't be substantial ones. We have plenty of AWS infrastructure spun up to handle current capacity.

    7. Today, the user profile does not offer anything interesting. It does not contain biographical information, avatar, contact, or anything else

      We've got an open issue for that (vision/#28). We agree.

    8. Using a specific user name to login, instead of email address, is less convenient and forces users to remember yet another, normally useless, bit of information

      The rationale here is to give people a handle, so that they can engage in conversation. Collaborative annotation, beyond the personal use case, is inherently social.

    9. Thus, in my opinion, the possibility of exporting comments from an on-line Hypothes.is application to a desktop application (which could be an extension of the pdf viewer) and back, might be a crucial point for the further development of hypothes.is.

      I agree. We'd love to partner with a quality PDF reader app to do just that.

    1. With bookmark programs, current Web browsers provide a limited support to personalize the Web

      This is about to change dramatically.

    1. It's pathetic. But censorship by companies controlling privatized political space is now almost a norm. Facebook is implementing its own "laws" for social behavior and politics. Even Twitter has now folded; censoring for example, leaks about the New Zealand prime minister just this week and some time ago banning Anonymous Sweden after a request from that country. High volume publication+control of publication by powerful organisations = censorship, all the time. We have to fight to create new networks of freedom. The old and powerful always become corrupt.

      Words to consider carefully.

    2. representing interactive modeling or input-driven simulations

      Not sure what this means.

    3. then annotation must be particularly sensitive to the context of the use of educational materials

      Maybe the solution is to enable copyediting features and to use them when appropriate?

    4. If objects are immutable and likely to remain in the original context in which they were first published

      I'm not sure I understand this. I think we generally assume the annotatable part of the web to be either fixed content, or stable enough that an anchor can persist. So-- is this qualification necessary?

    1. A: Collaboration: How can we encourage/support collaboration while personalizing practice and doing practice online? Peer collaboration and teaching can be very effective techniques for learning. Teaching something helps the teacher learn it more effectively. Working in groups to solve problems helps students overcome obstacles, and through convincing and arguing helps them elaborate on their own understanding. If students are doing online practice, can we still benefit from peer collaboration and instruction? Consider online and offline techniques in an individual classroom. What might be possible in a MOOC?

      Group A:

      • Annotate the document
      • Live chat
      • Exercise specific chat / more general chat
      • More senior grades tutoring

      • For MOOCS, subgroups of optimal number

    1. The president said the United States and other world powers rejected Russia’s annexation of Crimea, a region of Ukraine that voted to secede on March 16.

      That's probably not going to work.

    1. You will notice that the review includes a complete transcript of the online annotations; see below for why

      The link to @hlapp's stream for this article is here

    2. So in the end my experiment caused more work rather than less for the journal staff.

      We're hosting a workshop on peer-review and annotation May 15-16 in Washington, DC. Perhaps someone from F1000 could participate.

    3. ideally, a journal would have set up the Hypothes.is Annotator for itself such that comments entered by a reviewer would automatically be tagged uniquely such that they can subsequently be linked to the review and reviewer.

      Commonly requested. We have a stub issue for this here. (Just created).

    4. Google Chrome

      Firefox coming soon. Others to follow after that.

    5. Most online annotation platforms don't, or don't yet work on PDFs

      Ours does! The current Chrome extension supports annotation of PDFs using an included version of Mozilla's PDFjs.

    6. and in fact not even advertised on the front page

      Yes, we haven't felt it quite ready to promote on the home page just yet. We're close though!

    7. it really applies to the article as a whole than some part of the text.

      We already support "annotations" (i.e. traditional comments) that refer to the whole article that would be appropriate for this. It's possible that perhaps there is a role for a template of some sort for journal reviews that could live in the body of annotations like this.

    8. The comments I made using Hypothes.is became public immediately6, though presumably a journal-hosted version could keep them private until checked and approved.

      This will be possible with Groups which we're in the process of designing now, and will be developing shortly.

    9. But this loses many of the advantages of using online annotation to start with, such as easy pinpointing of text position, establishing a conversation thread, and making the conversation accessible to the public, unless some way is found to keep offline and online versions in syncrony.

      Exactly. It feels better to stick with rendering annotations for various purposes dynamically--rather than moving them to PDF as the preferred archival form.

    10. There is no direct way to create a PDF yet from Hyppthes.is annotations, leaving print-to-file as the only alternative

      If you could pull a stream of just the annotations from the article reviewed, and even scoped to just those from the reviewers, would that work? One could print the results of that stream to PDF easily through browser features outside of H.

    11. The Hypothes.is platform doesn't yet have a URL that resolves as the review annotations as a whole, or a single annotation on top of the online text7

      This feature we've called Direct Linking. It should come relatively soon after our 0.1 release. Our roadmap is here, and updated frequently.

    12. The URL interface that exists for retrieving review comments (the "stream" interface) shows them in reverse chronological order (most recent first), and for now there is no option to control the ordering

      This feature we call "View / Sort". We're implementing it first for the sidebar--there's a working demo here. The stream should follow quickly, since the stream and sidebar are closely related. There's a separate issue for that here.

    1. When the user is building a trail, he names it, inserts the name in his code book, and taps it out on his keyboard. Before him are the two items to be joined, projected onto adjacent viewing positions

      I love this early UX imagining of the linking/annotation process by Vannevar. What's notable here of course is that he suggested that creating links between things was a function that something visitors (trailblazers) could do. In a sense, to him the notion of a hypertext link, and a clickable annotation w/ two targets were mutually interchangeable ideas. Today, these are distinct. The idea that a visitor can do this, is only possible within the emerging idea of Open Annotation as we understand it now. It's why those of us exploring it are so excited about its potential.

    1. stratigraphy concerns the events between its bounding surfaces as well as the nature of the boundary itself

      Create an annotation here.

    1. Adding and searching custom tags

      Our current interface supports creating ad-hoc tags. We are planning some additional features in the future (reference to external ontologies, auto-suggest, etc #142). Is the current capability sufficient for Phase 1 MVP?

    2. If emails responses are sent to mailing list, links to those emails (or body text) should be added to annotation thread

      In other words, if I reply to an email , a reply annotation should be created. This would be expected functionality in any basic email notification scheme. This is included in our issue #1004.

    3. Credentials for identity (W3C, WebPlatform.org)

      EDIT: Changed to Phase1

    4. Show annotations on demand

      We support this now, via a "show annotations" toggle

    5. Annotation server hosted on WebPlatform.org

      Available now.

    6. Persist annotations across different versions of same spec

      With an embedded canonical URL this is available now.

    7. Toggle annotation functionality on or off

      Exactly what is meant here? With the extension, it can be activated-- i.e. turned on, but we're still working on turning it off! #468). We also have a "show annotations" capability, to allow highlighting of all source level annotations on the page. Will a Phase 1 demo be done w/ an extension, or via direct embedding of JS on a given page?

      EDIT: Changed to Phase1 at @tilgovi's suggestion below

    8. Reflecting comments in the mailing list

      Sending email notifications clearly seems like Phase 1 scope. How exactly annotations would be reflected to a mailing list and how that would be configured, needs to be spec'd. issue #1004

    9. Allow admin curation of links (adding links, or removing irrelevant links on same thread)

      Can you describe in more detail?

    10. Consider adding tags in new custom email header

      Exactly what you mean should be spelled out here. Feels like this is either Phase 2 or 3.

    11. Alert users when they start annotating an older version of a document (requires knowing the current version)

      This feels like Phase 3.

    12. Consider sending a custom headers via email, so replies can be federated, keeping discussion threaded and complete

      Suggesting Phase1

    13. Optional: Add special "classes" of annotation, such as tests results, that display differently in the spec than simple text annotations (perhaps as icons for browser support)

      You say "display differently in the spec". In what way? By color, by style of highlight, etc. Suggesting this be Phase 2 or 3.
