Overview

Adamite is a browser plugin that supports annotating web resources, such as documentation. Currently, Adamite only works on the Chrome web browser running on a desktop computer (not on phones or tablets).

You can use Adamite's annotation types to organize and structure the information you find online and save it into a sidebar. With Adamite's searching, tagging, filtering, and pinning mechanisms, you can keep track of the information you want to follow up on. You can also connect information using Adamite's multi-anchoring system, as you try and find useful information. When you're ready, share your annotations with your colleagues through Adamite's groups.
The Chrome extension is currently in the development stage as part of the Natural Programming Project.
