epub is static so it seems the annos have to be known at publication and could function like footnotes. beyond that it’s no longer a static file?

why doesn’t epub just support annotations like they do footnotes?

That's everyone right now, though they may not know it. The continued monopoly power of these companies is not good for society.

Shocker. Mehta's remedy for the antitrust violations will go down in infamy. Google should have been broken up into 50 different companies.

Sure they do. Google illegally abused its monopoly power. It also deleted evidence when it knew litigation was likely. Not sure why anybody trusts anything this company says.

I like how it really wants to do stuff. I didn’t and don’t want a spreadsheet but thanks for asking.

Write and organize your content for humans because that makes less work for Google after it steals it and incorporates into its LLMs. Periodic reminder Google is an illegal monopoly.

It can't design, but implementation details aren't design, they're not contract or abstraction. If the internals are ugly, I'm not too worried, as long as signatures and return types are there. That's contract-level. Whether it hand-rolls a loop in 12 lines or uses in_array() in one? Don't mind.

What do you mean “possible behaviors”? A well-designed method takes a parameter and returns a result. Many implementation details are never revisited again. Your bottleneck is not in implementation details, it’s in object design. Things like abstracting too early before the problem is understood.

Like all software questions the answer is almost always: it depends. I don’t much care if an implementation detail is 20 lines when it could be 2. If that detail is in a single method, taking care of a single responsibility, and passes the tests it needs to pass, I would move on.

It’s 2026 and Google is still a monopoly, despite being found to be an illegal one. They don’t need to make it any better.
