Help
Quick start for the three-pane reader.
Start
- Serve the
public/folder (npm start), not the repo root. - Open a book from the library.
- Read in the center; annotate with Hypothesis on the left (wide) or standard sidebar (narrow).
- On a wide screen, select a term or click a link to consult on the right.
- Use Contents to jump sections; search in the main toolbar.
- Cycle text size on the reader toolbar.
- On wide screens, open Links (link icon) for density and providers (globe / book).
- Theme and settings live on the library home. Library button always returns home.
Panes
- Annotate — Hypothesis notes and highlights.
- Read — book text, search, contents, typography.
- Consult — Wikipedia, Wiktionary (wide only).
URL preferences
Query strings write through to localStorage, for example
?lang=en&theme=dark&density=hi&font=1.125&prov=w,d.
Mobile
Narrow screens show the book and notes only — no research links. Prefer landscape desktop for the full experience.
Notes
Log in via Hypothes.is. Export notes from your Hypothesis account. App settings export only preferences (not annotations).
