About

Annotated is a sidebar Chrome extension and a public feed. You highlight a passage, clip a video moment, or excerpt a podcast, add commentary, and post the result. Everything links back to the original source.

Posts are surfaced through a bridging-style ranker — items that earn helpful votes from readers across different leans rank higher than ones that just pile up votes from one cluster. Think Community Notes, scoped to a single source URL.

Rights holders can file a claim on any clip without an account. Upheld claims remove the rehosted media immediately.

Principles

• Embed-first. We re-host only when a clip can't be played in place.
• Source backlinks are prominent and canonical, not buried.
• No source media transcripts. We only transcribe your own commentary.
• Voting is for people, not bots. Anonymous votes don't count.
