What annotations software is this? All news should be reported this way when source documents are available.

Edit: scrolled to the bottom of the page and found https://github.com/molly/annotate

So it's just the front-end, relying on you to manually write all the HTML. I'd love some software to make generating these (or similar) annotated documents easily. Any ideas?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. A GUI where the original text material is loaded, then you highlight it and write the annotations. Bonus of each annotation could be tweeted/tooted/whatevered and include open graph screenshots of the annotation.

Also, I'm sure you didn't mean to trivialize the project, but it's more than "just a front end". The design is what's really great about it.

Sounds similar to Ted Nelson's Xanadu project.

Fermat's Library offers something that comes relatively close https://fermatslibrary.com/margins

Slightly tangential: is there software that converts multi-LaTeX PDFs into responsive HTML in a reasonable way? I'd read more of these papers if they were more viewable on a phone-size viewport.

Pandoc?

Cool idea, why don't you have a go at it and share the outcome on HN.

You might find https://web.hypothes.is/ helpful.

Does Hypothesis require a cloud account that syncs your annotations? If so, these products are a non-starter for any corporate environment, which is unfortunate.

Obsidian gets this right. Most software these days doesn't which is a shame.

This is what my fork of her project does https://github.com/kees-/annotate :)

Well, all it does is generate her identical format from a spec. Like @bradgessler said a gui to coerce annotations to that format from highlighting would be awesome

Agreed this is awesome! The author understands how to use the web: HTML, CSS, and JS (which is unfortunately rare in 2023)

My team recently built NextJS-based site with sets of annotations on the research paper our project is based on (Google Zanzibar):

https://github.com/authzed/zanzibar-annotated

Could be easily forked and used for other purposes. Happy to facilitate if we get any requests in the GitHub issues.

I had worked on a tool for hosting collaborative editing of these kinds of things, but we are currently evaluating whether we should pursue it further.
