Rationale

Hypothesis is an online annotation tool primarily for educational and research purposes. It allows users to highlight and comment directly on various online content types (webpages, PDFs, videos, eTexts, JSTOR content). While it supports saving and previewing content for annotation, and allows for contextual notes, it doesn't explicitly offer 'list and section organization' in the same way URList does for curating collections of URLs. It focuses more on collaborative annotation within documents rather than organizing diverse links into structured lists. It does offer public sharing of annotations and requires sign-in for full functionality.
