It's unfortunately not a widely supported spec. hypothes.is [0] is the most widely used desktop client, but they don't have a mobile client, and as of last time I checked they don't actually use the data model internally, they just expose a Web Annotation API.

I've heard you loud on clear on the feedback on Literal. I'll have a release out to make sign-in optional in the coming weeks and will follow up here once it's released. I'd be happy to create you some guest credentials in the meantime as well, shoot me an email if you're interested.

I wasn't aware of F-Droid but just created an issue to track publishing releases there here [1]. I'm not sure the inclusion timeline on their side but the work on my side should fast follow guest auth support.

Edit: to clarify _why_ authentication is currently required - the username is used as a primary key on associated data (e.g. annotations), and since I'm actively working on this, I try to personally reach out to everyone via email in order to solicit feedback. You can view the privacy here [2]. I'll move to support an optional auth flow regardless.
