Digger is a command-line tool to extract annotations from web-based services into local Markdown notes

For two years now I’ve read all my previous posts -
Ton finds his habit of revisiting “on this day” posts and his mature note-making habit have some interesting synergies:
This morning I was reading a blogpost from a few years ago, and immediately two things stood out as concepts. They were just mentioned passingly in the blogpost, but this time they seemed more meaningful than their place in the original text suggested. Off I went down a little rabbithole, writing both notions up and connecting them to the current things that make them stand out to me now, and incorporating other references.

Ton expresses his concerns about annotations in any online tool (the example is Hypothes.is) being potentially risky, if nothing else as a consumer of learning time that isn’t well integrated with his other notes:
The type of interaction and annotation I have/do with a source text I normally do locally. Unless it can be a PESOS (Post Elsewhere Syndicate to Own Site) flow, exchanging that current value of processing things locally for merely the potential for interaction and conversation is likely a bad trade-off for my learning.

I look at what a ‘web colleague’ has done, and think about how I might solve a similar problem.

Some uses for hypothes.is integration
grab my annotations since last run, check convert to bookmark posts on blog ditto but post into markdown pages in garden search for annotations against my domain (once I enable it for hypothes.is) and convert to incoming webmentions
