I'm sorry, but I don't think I could do this.

First, I don't think annotation is the task for bookmark manager like Shiori. Second (and the main reason), it's quite hard to do and I think it will add too much complexity to code base.

Unfortunately, Shiori's code is not really nice right now, mostly because of new support for archiving web page. There are several parts of code that IMHO too convoluted and repeated multiple times, which make it a bit hard to read.

@RadhiFadlillah I know you're not keen on adding annotation to shiori but have you considered integrating an open source annotation platform into shiori instead? I'm specifically thinking of hypothes.is which can be embedded into applications, websites, and interfaces and works with either a publicly hosted central server or your own self-hosted solution. All their code is on github and their documentation is pretty good.

I also think this will be a useful feature. Can this be revisited?

For those who want annotation built in, omnivore has this capability built-in, but I think its too big for if you have a small amount of users.

I recently discovered Shiori and find it really awesome - even though I sorely miss highlighting text, I respect @RadhiFadlillah decision to keep the codebase small and lean.

Right now what I do is get the epub from the bookmark and annotate it in my tablet. Is not really convenient but easy to capture thoughts. Quotes go on to obsidian.

Just curious, since this issue predates me, how would this look on the UI? What are the expectations?

If i remmember correctly With koreader we can send back annotated to server.
The hard part is how we should store annotates in database for each article? while user can update readable version and it possible that specific part change in article after update
