I'm printing out websites on purpose.
What may sound like an April Fool's joke is meant seriously.
But I'm not printing them on paper but as PDF files and here's why:
If you're following me on Twitter or Mastodon, you might have noticed that I'm using Logseq as a "second brain".
Logseq comes with a ton of useful features and one of them are PDF annotations.
Here's the official video demoing the feature:
Logseq to me by far is the most comfortable way to annotate websites across multiple computers and integrate them with my existing knowledge graph - if you print them to PDF first.
Another win of this method: I won't loose the information if the website with the post goes dark at some point in time...
Open an arbitrary blog post or article you want to annotate:
Next, I'm activating Firefox Reader mode:
Then, I'm calling the Print dialog and disable printing headers and footers:
And finally, I can just drag and drop the PDF file into my Logseq page created for this post and start highlighting and annotating.
How do you annotate and highlight websites?
