John GruberProposed feature for Safari: Markup.
Highlights and notes, with Pencil support, as an overlay atop the original page. Personal, not public, but synced via iCloud. I’d use this every day.
Don Melton@gruber We actually prototyped something like this over a decade ago but we didn't think anyone but you would use it.

Because of this I still convert ebooks and web pages that I want to keep and annotate to pdfs first. I want my annotations local, and not depend on availability/subscription to a service.

@xot @donmelton @gruber The article you reference is outdated. Thanks to the Readwise to Logseq plug-in, highlights / notes appear automagically in my *local* Logseq journal entries. Works also with other PKM solutions (Roam, Obsidian…).
@odysseus @donmelton @gruber Thanks, I'll check that out. That still does not change the fact that Readwise itself turned a purely local problem (storing annotations) into a cloud based service.
@xot @donmelton @gruber It’s fundamentally a read-it-later service that syncs across devices, so the cloud is its backbone.
