Show HN: Bookmark and Annotate Webpages with Others

I&#x27;ve used various bookmarking &#x2F; annotation services for the past 7-8 years, some as bookmarklets, others as extensions. None of them ever evolved into a great community.<p>What&#x27;s different about this one ? It looks like an MVP but without a mention of how it stands out.<p>Here are a few from the endless list ...<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.diigo.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.diigo.com&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hypothes.is&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hypothes.is&#x2F;</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;annotateit.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;annotateit.org&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;annotary.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;annotary.com&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scrible.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scrible.com&#x2F;</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;genius.com&#x2F;web-annotator" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;genius.com&#x2F;web-annotator</a>

There&#x27;s some prior work in this area: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hypothes.is&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hypothes.is&#x2F;</a><p>Very functional, but I stick to private annotations and haven&#x27;t noticed very many by others. They&#x27;re also entirely open-source and there are components isolated for those who want to embed a custom instance in their website.

The irony of needing a Facebook account to use a web annotation service... It needs some other way to sign in&#x2F;up.<p>I recently started using Pinboard after hearing the praise for its no-nonsense simplicity and impressive functionality. Couldn&#x27;t be happier. Sure it&#x27;s a paid service, but it just does what it does without trying to be too cool for school: pinboard.in&#x2F;tour&#x2F;

Sounds interesting but definitely needs some tour, demo, screenshots, or something to get a basic idea of what to expect beforehand.

This looks amazing (concept, not UI&#x2F;site which I could not test due to signup requirements) - I had this idea for years but, of course, never got around to implement this. Now give me this as a self-hosted solution that is not phoning home and I could see many organizations using it.

Give Facebook your bookmarks, too! ;-)
