In preparation for supporting actual annotations.

Should attach to the right of the text content in line with text, should fill remaining screen width and become collapsible in front of content when screen width is limited.

Currently they are just regular links, and the page reloads when they are followed

Descriptions and text content of documents should be rendered as markup.

Special link handler should be implemented for referencing other documents.

We have to parse all the documents anyway to maintain the search index - so no need to have the links pre-extracted. Let them be regular inlines like text.

(Note - will still need to pull them out when rendering with a special handler to give dom routing capability)

Currently the text index and document graph are populated only when the app starts, so changes to the database do not get picked up until redeployment.

For simplicity at this scale I think it's best to implement all database functionality locally and just use the mongodb for persistence. Hooking up to a change stream will be the first step of this.

When the page is narrow, the navpane needs to change to an expand/collapse toggle mode in front of the content.

• Lack of content for home page and collections is confusing
• Finding how to open the navigation view needs to be more obvious
• Clicking the content to close the navigation view shouldn't trigger any links
• Distinction between expand/contract and select in tree view is not immediately obvious
• Need to put at least something in the hamburger menu on the top right
• Search should possibly be always visible

Raw document IDs are not user friendly, and hurt the sharing experience.

We need a scheme that can map them to friendlier versions, e.g. instead of

/doc/5d75bbf516664eaec5b1b69e
map to
/doc/song.the_window
