Reposted Account portability in the social web — underlap by underlap.

...In an interoperable world, users want to be able to move between providers with minimal friction to avoid “lock-in”...

...ActivityPub is the protocol that underpins the Fediverse (Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, etc.). It does not provide direct support for account portability... It will be fascinating to see to what extent, if at all, interoperation with the Fediverse by Meta's Threads will include account portability...

Today I learned about PicGo an open source project which provides a relatively lightweight tool (it is an electron app so… 😬) which runs in the background and can upload images from your clipboard or filesystem to a host of your choice. The main README for the project is written in chinese which unfortunately I can’t read. However, I was able to fumble my way through with some use of Google Translate and some guesswork.

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).
