Anotato von Anotato

Don't Just Read. Speak Up.
Anotato adds a social layer to the static web. It allows you to leave permanent notes on any webpage, discover insights from others, and participate in a community-moderated knowledge network.

Most comment sections are a mess of spam and noise. Anotato is different. We use a unique Credit and Trust Score system to ensure that only high-quality, relevant contributions rise to the top.

How It Works:

1. Discovery (The Passive View) Browse the web as usual. When you see text highlighted in pale green, that means someone has left a thought there.

Click the highlight to open the view window.

Read the annotation (or cycle through multiple notes using < Prev and Next >).

You don't need an account to view annotations - only to create them or interact with them.

1. Creation (The Active Voice) Have something to add?

Highlight any text (10-300 characters) on a page.

Right-click and select "Create Anotato Annotation."

Write your insight (up to 20,000 characters) and save it to the page for everyone to see.

Requires 1 "Create Credit" to ensure quality.

The Anotato Economy: Quality Over Quantity To prevent spam and encourage thoughtful discussion, Anotato operates on a credit system. New users receive a starter pack of free credits.

Create Credits: Used when you publish a new annotation.

Forward Credits: Used when you "Forward" (upvote) a note you find valuable.

The Trust System: Your Reputation Matters Your Trust Score determines how much influence you have on the platform.

Boost Your Score: Write good notes that get Forwarded (Upvoted), or successfully Report spam.

Lose Points: If your notes are Reported (and the report is upheld), your score drops.

Interaction & Moderation

Forward (👍): Boost an annotation's visibility by your Trust Score value. (Costs 1 Credit).

Reject (👎): Reduce an annotation's visibility. (Free).

Report (❗): Flag spam or abuse for review. If you are right, you get your credit back and a reward.

Why Install? Anotato isn't just a tool; it's a commitment to a better internet. By attaching a small cost (Credits) and a reputation (Trust Score) to every action, we ensure that the notes you read are worth reading.
