[annotator-dev] Using annotator locally?

[John Kitchin]

Thanks for the reply. It is very helpful. It doesn't sound like this is
the path forward for what I am trying do for now, but maybe some time in

The code would keep the annotation separately, perhaps in localStorage or PouchDB [1] and then “materialize” the lot of it as HTML when requested.
