Anki is great for saving notes on specific subjects
I would love for reMarkable to become a powerful ebook reader that supports sharable annotations. Couple this with excerpts and the ability to sync / cross-link with Obsidian.md and it would be a game changer.
If Anki cards could be generated from reMarkable or Obsidian, we'd have a full knowledge graph system with SRS. Powerful.
Zotero 6 also has built-in PDF annotation support with a pdf.js-based reader.

Zotero is great, but the current versions don't actually support web annotation. That's a shame not only because web annotation is useful, but because given its excellent support for PDF annotation, it feels like it could become a one-stop shop for annotation/organisation of documents of all kinds, something which I've been looking for in vain for some time.

Maybe someone out there in HN land will read this and make a web annotation add-on to zotero. One can hope at least. You're right hat it is the missing piece of an already very capable tool.

I seem to recall someone mentioning it as "coming eventually." Hopefully that proves to be true.
For pdfs, you can use a zotfile addon where you can highlight, add notes, etc. using your favourite pdf veiwer and zotfile will then grab those highlights and notes and put them into the zotero entry for that file. You can then view these without having to open the pdf and search through them. This is particularly handy for when the pdf is large.
Of course the final advantage of zotero is that you can then easily cite things, which was its main purpose.
