I’ve just released v0.1.0 of my Joplin Hypothesis plugin.

The exciting news is that it now shows up in the Joplin plugin installer/marketplace - just go to tools > Plugins and enter ‘hypothesis’ in the search to find and install it.

This version adds checks to see whether the user has Joplin note sync enabled and forces the plugin to wait for any ongoing sync to resolve before running the Hypothesis sync process. That way the chances that duplicates/conflicts are generated by both Joplin and Hypothesis Syncing at the same time are reduced.

I’ve just released v0.0.2 of my Joplin Hypothesis plugin.

This version adds a couple of fixes that make it a lot more useful. Firstly, users can now import all of their annotations to Joplin rather than just the most recent 20, This is because I am now grabbing annotations via the annotations API instead of the user’s Atom feed. If you have 10,000 annotations this might take a little while, but it does mean that you could practically and easily import all of your hypothes.is annotations into Joplin so that you have a local copy of everything.

Last week, I wrote about how I have started using hypothes.is for web annotation and how it was already seemingly improving my knowledge management workflow. As I continued to use it, I realized that just copying my annotations to my website via micropub wasn’t enough for me to truly integrate it into my workflow.

I’m big on learning in public and I keep a digital garden/wiki containing slightly more fully-formed stuff. However, I keep my private and personal notes as well as half-baked, hare-brained ideas in Joplin. I was thinking it would be very useful to have my hypothes.is annotations easily-accessible from within Joplin, but I struggled to find an off-the-shelf solution to making this happen.

Many folks who have been hanging around on the IndieWeb scene may already be familiar with hypothes.is, a web annotation tool that allows you to highlight and make notes on web pages and PDFs directly, in-browser. Historically I’ve had accidental interactions with it when I’d loaded up blogs (like Ton Zylstra’s for example) and I’ve also seen Chris Aldrich wax lyrical about the service a lot (he is a hypothes.is power user, and he’s made so many annotations there that they recently sent him a little care package in celebration).

After a long period of not managing it, this week I am attempting to return to the Weeknote format that I started earlier in the year. This week I’ve been busy with building bots, playing games and getting a date for my PhD viva.

I’m currently undergoing a bit of a refactor of my personal knowledge management (PKM) approach. Up until now I’ve been a victim of the collector’s fallacy in which one can trick themselves into a false sense of security RE: learning by bookmarking everything that looks interesting for processing later. I use Wallabag, which is a self-hosted bookmark reading app similar to Pocket, to collect articles that I might want to read later. The problem is that I’ve ended up with hundreds of unread articles in my to-read list and I’ve not ended up doing much with the material that I have read. I want to get into the habit of reading articles more thoroughly, taking notes and linking them back to material I’ve read elsewhere.

This week has been fairly uneventful for us in the Ravenscroft household. It’s largely been business as usual. We did our usual pattern of 2 days in the office and 3 days at home.

I’ve been continuing my somewhat meta “thinking about thinking” stream of thought from last week with a thorough refactor of my personal knowledge management practices. I started writing an update about it here which turned into a full fledged blog post so I’ve published that as a separate piece here
