Does anyone remember Third Voice? You could graffiti any website and only people who had plugin installed could see it. Why isn't there a modern alternative? (en.wikipedia.org)

Years ago https://web.hypothes.is/ used to let one annotate any website, but it appears now they are focused on only student/educational usage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothes.is

There was a plugin that allowed highlighting text on any web page, adding comments, and having threaded conversations based on groups.. it was kind of cool, too bad it didn't take off.

EDIT 1: I'll be darned, the Chrome extension still exists.. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hypothesis-web-pdf-annota/bjfhmglciegochdpefhhlphglcehbmek

EDIT 2: I found my old account and the test annotations I'd done (and group definitions) still work! Guess this is still a working thing, worth exploring more.

    It still works and I still use it. Every so often I even run into other people's public comments in the wild.

    This is very 'meta' -- we should perhaps start a lemmy community to discuss what sites and groups to form, to use it on other sites. There could even be a lemmy group to comment on lemmy.. or something :p

    Here, I created a group for lemmy discussions! Hah.
