Investigate approaches that will allow us to “highlight” an existing webpage (without the need for browser extensions). A web proxy is an option.

Let's start from the point one of our workplaces, with strategies to "highlight" an existing website.
We essentially need to be able to inject javascript into a website. One approach we discussed was to use a web proxy server-side, or the one Jorge suggested (https://github.com/Matthew-Dove/Inject)

Try to prepare a short webpage, where given an input url, you are able to render that webpage and add extra javascript code (alert("hello world") for example)
annotator?url=
test some approaches and let us know what works.

Next, we need to see what javascript library we can "inject" to enable the highlighting functionality (users annotating the content).
There's http://annotatorjs.org/
and there should be others as well. We were using a very basic one, I don't even remember the name, but probably there are better ones.
