0. (Optional) Paste the link to an URL shortener such as https://is.gd (sometimes, direct links will fail to be processed at the next step)[other URL shorteners: https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener ]
1. Paste the (shortened) link to a free annotation service such as: https://outline.com (or simply input outline.com/[followed_by_the_copied_URL] to the navigation bar)
