#2I tried them a while ago. Really liked it but put it aside till they implement https://www.w3.org/annotation/ as promised. Just checked https://h.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/ and the v2 API in development has nothing to do with the W3C standard.
UPD: there is not a single issue open on the main repo wrt W3C standard implementation: https://github.com/hypothesis/h/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aope.... The post I took as a promise: https://web.hypothes.is/blog/annotation-is-now-a-web-standar...

Slightly on a tangent, but https://github.com/hypothesis/h/issues/777 could be a good target for https://solidproject.org/ to address. The Web Annotation Vocabulary is defined in RDF, so there should be zero overhead.

#5I've long felt that annotation was one of the greatest missed opportunities of the web. Every major content website implements commenting differently and often poorly. I'd much prefer to have comments come from a third party system where I can: own my own comments, not be subject to removal by the author of the content, and choose the group of people I want to discuss with. Imagine if hackernews discussions appeared right along the content instead of being hidden away where no reader of the content could find them.

I'm not entirely up-to-date on the annotation spec, but if all that's needed is to host the annotations somewhere, then Solid should already support that.
It's just not really clear to me how a user should find out that there are annotations about a page available somewhere.
(I work with Solid.)

Nice idea! Some cheapshots:
1. The comments aspect of this doesn't really jump out at me from the landing page.
2. The words "knowledge base" scare most people.
3. "You will be our customer and we promise to treat you the way we’d like to be treated too… with respect" is much more ominous with ellipsis than it would be with an em dash or a colon.

#9It seems like annotation is coming into its own. In addition to the W3 standard, there are a lot of interesting UI/UX ideas in the space for instance this UI/UX that was posted by Azlen Elza (in Twitter) that would be perfect for annotation.

We've had enough problems stemming from the powerful parasitic middlemen that have ruined the Internet, we don't need more of them.
Why would I ever give you my data? Because you promise not to sell it? Sorry that's not going to fly.
