Hello! I want a way to prevent the proxy from adding "
https://via.hypothes.is" to URLs within documents.
Background: I started using Hypothesis as part of my workflow for reading and annotating research papers. I made a list of article URLs in a Google Doc and prefixed them all with "
https://via.hypothes.is" so I could open them in Chrome on my iPad with the Hypothesis client enabled. This is necessary since the iPad doesn't permit the Hypothesis Chrome extension, and I want to read on my iPad. My system works well, except in this scenario:
I want some way, when I reach URL-B on my iPad, to escape from Hypothesis. I see two options:
- An option to prevent link rewriting. Perhaps we could introduce URL parameters like "https://via.hypothes.is/?rewriteLinks=false&url=URL-B", as a supported alternative to the proxy's current URL scheme. I'd put such URLs in my Google Doc to avoid getting trapped in Hypothesis when reading papers on my iPad.
- An escape button in the Hypothesis client UI that I could tap, while viewing the page in Chrome on my iPad, to reload the page without the Hypothesis client.
I'm good at Python and I can hack my way around Javascript, I could attempt a PR for either of these ideas, or for some alternative you all propose.
Thanks!
