Very interesting direction. I like people taking their web browsing and realizing its a serious thing for a more serious set of tools then we currently have.
I'd like annotations to be the way forward for the web.
Just as a thought experiment, this comment I'm making.
Where does it go to live permanently? Why is all this typing I'm doing ephemeral on my computer?
Why can I make comments all over the web and it's very likely I have no way of tracking the fact that I made the comment longer term (even if I spend 30 minutes typing some instructions or help for example).
No regular way of hearing responses to it?
No solid way of copying it or morphing it for another output other then laboriously (possibly having to google my own comment) finding it on the original site (which was it?) etc.
Why can't I search my own comments over time?
==Hint: This is not a plea for yet another flakey web service==
It's a weird world when you consider how much you type into these boxes all to evaporate for your own use.
As part of building a different world what relationship does Polar have with https://web.hypothes.is/blog/annotation-is-now-a-web-standard/ https://web.hypothes.is/blog/annotation-is-now-a-web-standar...
Why or why not?

We will double down and investigate web standards once Polar is a bit more solid. Right now it's just extra work when I haven't validated that Polar is going to be useful to 100s of thousands of people.
