Hi Annotator dev team, I'm a graduate student looking to build a lightweight annotation system for annotating science news articles with common writing strategies. The initial project is to crowdsource these annotations, but eventually my goal is to shift this to a volunteer-based system where people can log on to annotate articles as a way of improving their own writing.
I have been talking with Jon Udell at Hypothes.is about using their stack for this project, but it sounds like it might be overkill since right now all I need is a way of embedding annotation into a webpages I will be serving and saving these annotations to my database. Annotator.js looked ideal for the project, but it seems like it's in maintenance mode now and Apache Annotator is its successor. Would you recommend I use annotator.js or does Apache Annotator also provide this functionality? Happy to answer any questions you might have. Thank you also for building this amazing tool! I have spent the last week looking over annotation toolkits, and it's awesome what you are building. Best, Tal -- Tal August PhD student Paul G.
