Annotation Bookmark Extension Specs

tags: Docs Specs Dev

Features

Basics

  • A text selection in a webpage gets an extra option in its context menu: ‘Highlight/Bookmark selected text’
  • Bookmarking a selection will save it in the browser’s bookmarks.
  • When visiting any page, retrieve its corresponding bookmarks, and display them (= highlight text).
  • Clicking a highlight lets one remove the bookmark or copy its URL updates the address bar with the fragment identifier, so the browser’s star button can be used to organize or remove the bookmark.

Optional

  • Ability to edit the bookmark’s selection
  • Show star besides the highlight when hovering, and mimic the ‘edit bookmark’ menu, to make it obvious both that it is a bookmark and where to edit it.
  • The Name of the bookmark can be/include a note that the user wrote.
  • Share bookmarks
    • The URL for the Bookmark can be shared with other users of the browser extension
    • Ideally through existing link sharing methods (e.g. share by email, Pinboard, Shaarli, Wallabag)
  • Use freeze-dry to store the page being bookmarked.
    • How will we handle this cache in a share scenario?
    • Do we want to store our bookmarks in the snapshot? Could be both machine-readable (RDFa?), and human-readable (highlight + possibly note)

User Story

Alica uses browser extension Deepmark-it to highlight a section in a blog post and save to bookmarks.

  1. When Alica visits the blog post again, her bookmark will be visible (highlighted).

  2. Alica can share the bookmark with Bobtje via email, messaging[?]
    Bobtje uses the same browser extension to view the bookmark.

Implementation

Overview

  • The saved bookmark will have as its Location the page URL plus a fragment identifier that encodes the WA Selector for the selection.

Browser bookmark apis that will be used

  1. Create Bookmark: bookmarks.create()
  2. Retrieve Bookmark: browser.bookmarks.getTree()
    a. Also there are other apis to get bookmark by id however, we might need to lookup by URL of the page.

Notes & questions

  • When retrieving the bookmarks and displaying it, the quoteurl.js default behaviour is scroll to selection - which is perfect when we click on the bookmarks to visit the selection.
  • But when the user visits the page without frag identifier, then the extension will retrieve the bookmarks, but need not scroll.
  • When creating bookmark via context menu, the bookmark organizing options like name, tag or folder options implementation doesn't seem straight forward.

Janastu / Servelots Narrative report for APC 2019

[TOC] Our Long Term Objectives Enabling real connectivity and information sharing among two under-recognised cohorts of the digital divide: non-literates, and girls and young women. To make tools accessible and familiar, by demystifying the technology for underexposed communities. To place the means of communication outside the for-profit marketplace that has mostly consumed internet platforms and appropriated and commodified content. All the devices, software, and tools that will be used and developed are open source. We utilize only interactive platforms that are easily available, such as common web browsers, Raspberry Pi and smartphones. To stimulate meaningful participation within the local ecosystem. While the instantaneous, global reach of the internet is perhaps its most spectacular achievement, these tools help neophytes to connect locally and to engage deeply at a relatively small scale.

Webinar Pi Platform

[TOC] Introduction Webinar Pi is a pilot implementation of community required software and services for production of hypermedia publishing and delivery. Our aim is to package together open source community developed softwares running on a raspberry pi device, which will be called Webinar pi onwards. A logical mesh connects multiple such Webinar pi devices, that allows peer to peer discovery and sync. Users of the network can do video / Audio conference, create hypermedia artefacts, which could be any digital media like Images, Audio, Video and annotations (tags, descriptions, metadata) on the media, and parts of the media. Project Status The platform is currently actively being tested by our team members, to release the prototype version due mid august. In our current sprint we are testing the hardware, you can read further on our testing status here Dry run for distributed syncing across devices
