@jgmac1106 @kfitz Yes it is! I'm still working on some UI improvements, but I've been using them more since I wrote https:/
@cogdog Here are the details I wrote up for the fragmention (highlighted links) functionality in WordPress. One of these days I'll build it all into one standalone plugin: https:/
@MorrisPelzel @hypothes_is I'm building toward the example in the closing paragraphs that better exposes the functionality in a website to website manner without the need for a third party service (i.e. a more decentralized manner.)
Since I can link directly now (!): http:/
@RossGoodman are you by chance using a fragmentions plugin? If you are, the /#comments hash at the end of the URL will cause the targeted element to be highlighted in yellow like that.
Jeremy, I think this was a known issue with the WordPress Semantic Linkbacks pluin and thought it got address/fixed in a recent update. If not, do file a bug at https:/
Also interesting, it looks like Independent Publisher (theme) isn't outputting a permalink for the comments on Among The Stones either. If they're webmentions, all the URLs point to the locations of of comment originals, which makes it harder to target individual comments with fragmentions.
@billbennettnz @davewiner I think I mentioned to you that @Chronotope was mulling something over along these lines:
https:/
I'm curious if there's a middle ground? The way that @davewiner does his blog with updating hashes throughout the day would be interesting within news distribution, that way the URL changes, but at the same time it doesn't really. Example: http:/
In some sense, these hashes are related to the IndieWeb concept of fragmentions: https:/
Depending on implementation, news sites could offer a tl;dr toggle button that gives a quick multi-graph synopsis. As I recall USA Today and Digiday used to do something like this on longer pieces:
https:/
Here's a version of the functionality via the WayBackMachine that still works: https:/
Imagine how powerful a long running story could be with all of these features? Or even snippets of inter-related stories which could be plugged into larger wholes? Eg: The Trump Administration's handling of North Korea seen in fact snippets over time spanning months while pieces of this could be integrated into a larger Trump Administration mega-story going back to January or even the beginning of his campaign. Someone who hasn't been following along could jump back months or years to catch up relatively quickly, but still have access to more context that is often missing from bigger pieces which need to stand on their own relatively.

@mattscomments No, not a plugin (yet?). I exported them via the Amazon Kindle Desktop app and added some CSS to improve the mark up a tad. Doesn't take too long though. I greatly prefer to own this type of content on my own site first and then syndicate it to places like GoodReads after the fact.
I've written some details here: http:/
Searching my site for "marginalia" will uncover other resources: http:/
I also recently helped guide Jeremy Cherfas though some of the process and he's well documented a similar (non-WordPress) workflow here: https:/
Given your Twitter background at @mattmaldre:
There are some in the indieweb movement working on notes, highlights, marginalia, fragmentions, etc. You can search/find wiki pages for those topics here: https:/
I presume you'll already know about https:/
@ivasef85 @lukashmayyn @Anthony Adding highlighting to my @WordPress blog with fragmentions and @hypothes_is took 2 minutes.
UI: Duration doesn't make sense in Read post kind · Issue #65 · dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds https:/
When making a "Read" post in which data exists in the "time" tab for published dt and updated dt, the output displays more like one would anticipate with a music post type (or jam, listen, play, watch, travel) using start/end vocabulary instead and outputting a "Duration".
Duration may make sense if one were doing a start/end time for their reading, but then the scraper shouldn't be automatically pulling in the publish/update dates/times. Personally I'd prefer to let the publication time of my post indicate when the thing was read and have Post Kinds indicate the publication of the original piece I was reading.
Possibly better would be an if/then statement to differentiate types and for Read types outputting a date/time for the original publication and/or potentially an updated date/time if it exists.
At present, the issue is most common on New York Times posts for which the scraper pulls in the correct metadata.

Because Independent Publisher works really well with [IndieWeb technologies](https:/
Using this, one could allow for [Fragmentions](https:/
@KevinMarks FYI, the time posts on your webmentions appear to be off by 7 hours. See also my last comment on: http:/
There are two Fragmentions plugins available that might be included in the IndieWeb plugin:
Christiaan Conover:
https:/
https:/
Luis Rodriguez:
https:/
https:/
At present Conover's has 20+ installations and was written first while Luis's has 0 installs,but is more recently updated. Both seem to work on my site reasonably well, though someone more experienced than I may have an opinion on which is "better" from a coding standpoint.
