I think I’m all set to start annotating more in Hypothes.is. My set-up syncs with Obsidian, and Hypothes.is has both an API and RSS so I can pipe it into other things when needed. One thing I’m curious about is how my use of language will take shape. My Obsidian notes are a mix of Dutch and English, with Dutch forming the bigger part. A few of my notes are written in German.
Hypothes.is aims for social annotation. My idiosyncratic mix of Dutch and English, as well as my personal shorthand may well stand in the way of that. Will if self-censor and only use English, or will I keep writing the way I do on my local system? We’ll see how that takes shape in practice.

@ton What’s the secret to syncing Hypothes.is and Obsidian? I’d use Hy more if I could do this.
@agilelisa There is a Hypothesis Highlights plugin in the community plugins. (url github.com/weichenw/… ), it allows you to set the sync frequency and a template for how the imported note is shaped. I found it through Chris Aldrich who uses it intensively.
@agilelisa Do I correctly remember you mentioning you run Obsidian in restricted mode?
@ton no I run Obsidian in normal mode, not restricted. I’ll check out the Hypoths.is plugin. Thank you.
@agilelisa @ton I use Hypothes.is too although not as often but have synced it to Readwise.
@pratik @ton I bet that’s exactly what I want, Hypothes.is synced to Readwise and thence to Obsidian via the Readwise plugin. “Feeds two birds with one seed” as a friend of mine likes to say (a less violent alternative to “kill two birds with one stone”).
