I don't want to be the hater guy but am I missing something or isn't this just a glorified web highlighting service? (Including medium.com's own highlighting feature, or genius.com)

I root for any new attempt to do things in different ways but I don't like it when people try to spin things to make them look novel when they really aren't.

I wouldn't have been harsh if OP didn't invent a new ridiculous terminology as "Deep hyperlink" and call itself a "revolution".

Thank you for your feedback and sorry about using the word "revolution" :)

Probably, the article isn't good at explaining its feature. Highlighting itself has been in service since the start of the web but does the highlight has its unique regular URL?

You may have seen famous quotes from the web but they don't have links and the platform wants to solve the problem by providing a general URL scheme to make URLs more specific without any special web plugins or apps.

I don't like the terminology either but I wouldn't call it a highlighting service. I think with low and sporadic usage, it wouldn't amount to much more than highlighting, but if it actually became a standard thing, it would make for a decent improvement over current hyperlinks

Specifically in that it pushes for first-source references, if only by making hyperlinks more useful in that regard.

Its obviously derived from reading up on Xanadu, but its also probably not going far enough to be worth noting
