    Don't Just Read. Speak Up.
    
    Anotato adds a social layer to the static web. It allows you to leave permanent comments on any webpage that can be seen by others who have the extension, and to read, upvote, or downvote other people's comments.
    
    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, it 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 or interact with them.
    
    2. 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.
    
    3. Join the Conversation
    If someone has already highlighted a passage and you want to chime in, you don't need to create a brand new highlight. You can simply string your new comment directly onto the existing highlight, creating a clean thread of discussion.
    
    The Anotato Economy: Quality Over Quantity
    To prevent spam and encourage thoughtful discussion, Anotato operates on a unified Credit system.
    
    The Starter Pack: New users receive 100 Free Credits to get started. 
    
    The Occasional User Top-Up: If your balance falls to zero, don't worry! After 30 days at zero, we provide a free top-up of 100 credits so that occasional users can always jump back into the conversation.
    
    How Credits are Used:
    By attaching a small cost to actions, we ensure users think before they post.
    
    Create a new annotation: 2 Credits
    
    Forward (Upvote) an annotation: 1 Credit
    
    Report spam/abuse: 1 Credit (Refunded if your report is upheld)
    
    View another user's annotations: 1 Credit
    
    See who viewed your profile: 1 Credit
    
    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 by moderators), 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. (Costs 1 Credit, but if you are right, you get your credit back plus 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 truly worth reading.
