Show HN: Bookmark and Annotate Webpages with Others

I've used various bookmarking / annotation services for the past 7-8 years, some as bookmarklets, others as extensions. None of them ever evolved into a great community.

What's different about this one ? It looks like an MVP but without a mention of how it stands out.

Here are a few from the endless list ...

There's some prior work in this area: https://hypothes.is/

Very functional, but I stick to private annotations and haven't noticed very many by others. They're also entirely open-source and there are components isolated for those who want to embed a custom instance in their website.

The irony of needing a Facebook account to use a web annotation service... It needs some other way to sign in/up.

I recently started using Pinboard after hearing the praise for its no-nonsense simplicity and impressive functionality. Couldn't be happier. Sure it's a paid service, but it just does what it does without trying to be too cool for school: pinboard.in/tour/

Sounds interesting but definitely needs some tour, demo, screenshots, or something to get a basic idea of what to expect beforehand.

This looks amazing (concept, not UI/site which I could not test due to signup requirements) - I had this idea for years but, of course, never got around to implement this. Now give me this as a self-hosted solution that is not phoning home and I could see many organizations using it.

Give Facebook your bookmarks, too! ;-)
