But if I were to embrace such features, I'd have a naive question: why do I need to unclutter an article to access them? If I'm perfectly happy reading a normally rendered page and see a phrase I want to annotate, I won't want to break my flow by uncluttering first. This emphasizes to me that these features feel like they belong in two separate extensions.
But maybe that's not working out completely. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for unclutter, careful listening to feedback in this Show HN post, and pointing out your inspirations at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33718859! Though I've never connected with its functionality beyond reader mode (in any tool), I'd love to at some point, but it's hard to get right in a way that doesn't become burdensome or transitory. I want browsers to become much more powerful user agents. Stuff like hypothes.is that I see you've integrated with is super cool, just not there for me yet. Godspeed!
What do you think about presenting the library aspect as a "Pocket alternative"?
