Thanks again. I'm sure you are reading lots of posts, so I will reference my other post we were discussing here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=356795
Again I may be missing something here, but the
primary advantages I see using Hypothes.is annotations are the ability to:
- View all annotations by all users from a web-based viewer (i.e. remote/shared files)
- View these annotations in-context of the larger document instead of simply seeing a list of annotations.
Perhaps I'm in the minority, but when collaborating with others it is much easier to be able to look at the document with the full set of annotations (or ideally a granular view based on query) or, the reverse being able to look at a list of annotations and jump right to that location in the document. This, to me, is more preferable than simply looking at a list of excerpts from the book with notes attached.
If you are still unconvinced and absolutely against implementing a feature like this, would you be just as unconvinced to incorporate one if I could somehow manage it in a fork?
Thanks.
