Hypothes.is VS WorldBrains Memex

Tools like https://web.hypothes.is exist and have a decent number of installs. The hard part of a generic third-party commenting tool is creating the right social context for it to actually be useful. Hypothesis for example is mostly used via its integration into online learning platforms, where that context already exists. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I honestly can't imagine not using extensions. I'm 39 and have been on the web since Netscape etc in the early 90s and I honestly care more about the extensions than I do anything the browser actually does. Like, if there were no extensions I don't think I'd care at all if I used Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc. But Chrome and Firefox have this massive, massive ecosystem of productitivy improving extensions.

I think https://web.hypothes.is/ would be of interest to you. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Not native to Gmail, but there are some tools that allow notes and comments on web pages as an extension. https://web.hypothes.is/ does this and is open source (if that matters to you). Source: 10 months ago

Yes. Only one solving the problem very very well right now. Memex - https://getmemex.com More generally the open annotations standard is meant to address this use case.

Hmm.. Probably Wallabag, But I prefer MemeX because it has less trackers and works well for me. Source: about 2 years ago

Check out Memex (https://getmemex.com/) or wallbag (https://www.wallabag.org/en). They're both free and open-source. Source: over 2 years ago

If you're interested in saving bookmarks and such, I'd probably go off with something like Memex (https://getmemex.com/) or Floccus (https://floccus.org/). I haven't really used them but, I've looked a bit into them and they're free and open-source. Source: over 2 years ago

For pdf annotations on Windows I use Foxit reader, on Android acrobat reader. For highlighting web-content (pdfs, articles) I'm still looking for a good solution but will maybe stick to Memexor hypothesis. On iOS there's Command Browser (one time purchase) I already use and love for webcontent- and they have Android on their roadmap too.. If that's the case I know where I belong ;).
