Hacker News is one of my seed sites I visit multiple times a day, so I created a group for myself and other HN readers to see people's highlights of links on HN: https://www.kontxt.io/groups/23423/documents. Feel free to join and share your highlights, or just quickly view all the best parts of the links on HN highlighted by others.

It would bring me no greater joy than to see the hundreds of thousands of lines of code I've developed over six years be used to unite avid readers on HN and fellow information addicts to learn and grow together as a community. Stay curious--and keep reading!

Hey there! Creator of Kontxt.io here, which was listed on the site. Quick correction.

- It's actually free. - Still under development. - It has a CMS and social network to organize, share, and discover with others. - Anyone can add the annotative collaboration features directly to their own site with a single line of code to boost engagement and sharing to grow their audience.

New feature: Stylize your highlights and add a promotion to every share. Perfect for fundraisers and charitable donations.

Example: https://www.kontxt.io/document/d/QNebKRiN9ghcqTb1U8StSZJEwlT...

Description: I highlighted a site. Put highlights on their own page. Added a background. And added a clickable promotion (to donate to the Red Cross) with analytics to see views and clicks.

I built my own https://www.kontxt.io and hit the front page of HN not too long ago. It's a modern hybrid productivity and social bookmarking / news / knowledge aggregation service. Think social web layer with CMS and social network. You can save the site / pdf (link or archive), engage with highlights, comments, and polls. There's privacy controls. It's searchable. Everything can be organized with tags as well as folders. You can join groups and follow people to discover shared content. Highlights can be shared natively to popular social platforms and observed with analytics. User's can also set a personal promotion with what they share as an added benefit and incentive to provide value.

I built https://www.kontxt.io for this. You can @mention in comments to send emails with deep-links like this:

There's also google-doc like sharing controls. And it's connected to a CMS with folders and groups so it's easy to stay organized and up to date.
