Nyxt browser annotations beat pen and paper, believe me
Something I've always wanted to work on was a browser extension that allowed things like this to happen collaboratively. There's stuff like PeerLibrary[0] that lets you annotate things as a group, but it's limited to publications and things you upload. Nyxt seems to meet what I want but lacks the collaborative aspect I'm looking for.
There's a couple of Browser extensions that have sorta tried to accomplish this before. Epiverse[1] seems to be the most polished one so far. It originally intended to allow any user to comment on any webpage. But it found that without existing content, few found it useful. So eventually the creator just parsed to see if the webpage was posted on Reddit or Hackernews. The original purpose of it ended up being too expensive to host so it ended up just becoming a HN/Reddit parser. Which, tbh, is basically what I want to build at this point. I'd love to contribute to the project, but I don't have much time and it's closed source
The other similar extensions also just parse HN/Reddit like Newsit[2] (which is open-source) and Thredd[3] (which only parses Reddit). My only real addition to this is that I'd like to include the ability to parse more than just Reddit and HN. I wanna create a discussion aggregator. There's similar sites like Lobste.rs and Lemmy.ml that could also be parsed, but obviously that's not the full extent of where discussions happen around a webpage.
I don't think I have it figured out, and I don't know if anyone ever will, but I think there's a lot to gain if someone is able to someday harness that feeling that you get when you read something really good or find something really cool and wanna see how others responded

Here's an article that might be of interest
I often use Newsit to tell whether something has been posted.

Show HN: Privacy-preserving browser extension linking to HN discussion
Nice, so it periodically retrieves a list of HN posts and queries that list locally, so you're not telling algolia any specific site details.
There are millions of posts on HN, how many submissions does it retrieve? Surely if you find an obscure site, it might not be in the local list.
Maybe you could just always query many urls together, with only 1 of them being the real url you want. That would make it hard to track too.
Also I made a similar extension, but it queries sources on every page load.

Ask HN: Is anyone still using Gulp?
Yeah that's true, I mean I use gulp for browser extension builds, as there's a few random tasks (img compression, copying files, babel) that need to be done in order to build cross platform. Would be a pain in webpack.
My example: https://github.com/benwinding/newsit/blob/master/gulpfile.js

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is an open-source traditional roguelike dungeon crawler
Just FYI, there's an Android app called Obtainium that lets you add Github (and a few other) repos to it. Obtanium will then check those repos for updates and install the new APK for you. Its pretty slick for people that prefer to get their APKs direct from the dev.

F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser
While F-Droid will manage updates to anything installed through it's shop, you aren't stuck manually checking and updating things if you go decide to download APK releases directly. Obtanium is essentially a tracker/updater for managing your APKs from a broad range of sources. At the moment I'm only using it for a Bluesky client I grabbed off GitHub but I can see replacing the F-Droid shop with it once I've really settled on my app choices. Something on the list to investigate later.

NewPipe – The lightweight YouTube experience for Android
"Due to their process of building apps, apps in the official F-Droid repository often fall behind on updates. F-Droid maintainers also reuse package IDs while signing apps with their own keys, which is not ideal as it gives the F-Droid team ultimate trust. Additionally, the requirements for an app to be included in the official F-Droid repo are less strict than other app stores like Google Play, meaning that F-Droid tends to host a lot more apps which are older, unmaintained, or otherwise no longer meet modern security standards."[2]
