Save annotations along with bookmarks #14

Open brady77 opened 6 years ago

Services like hypothes.is allow for highlighting some text (annotations) on web pages (or PDFs) and saving those highlights along with bookmarks. It is a great way to speed up the process of recalling some important facts without rereading whole articles.

In an ideal world I will have an option to tag annotations rather then bookmarks. Some articles are dealing with different topics (eg. by chapters ) and tagging those highlights seems more natural for me. Bookmarks can just inherit those tags from annotations.

From the first paragraph it sounded like the comment which you can type for each bookmark is what you're talking about, or am I wrong?

Confused by the second paragraph though. Wdym tag annotations? Annotation for the tags themselves?

Sorry, really confusing... I wish I could highlight some text on a web page and save that text into Geekmarks along with page bookmarks. This is what I mean by "highlights". Something what Hypothes.is or Diigo does. Ideally I could add tags to those saved highlights, directly. So there will be a parent object called "bookmark" and a couple of child objects called "highlights" with respective tags. Saved highlights will be searchable by tags as well.
