My biggest problem with it was the lack of support for frames. Many sites I use serve documents in frames making hypothes.is unable to see them. Also, why not work with NextCloud and create an app to annotate documents there. NextCloud over public or private share?

In a way, Nextcloud is a silo (even though it's open source and can be selfhosted). If you annotate documents there, you'd have to snapshot the page and move it into the app which kills the social function?

In contrast, Hypothesis only keeps track of the metadata and uses fuzzy anchoring to make it resilient to the markup changes.
