multiple entries of the same page
This might be a hard problem to solve but I think it still worth noting:
When bookmarking a page it will be added using the same url as bookmarked (including hash marks and queries).
And if you made some transparent "local" navigation (that changed only the hash mark or the query of the URL) then when you'll annotate you'll actually be puting another entiry of this page into memx.
it happend to me when I bookmarked a wiki page from the wiki app (which sends the url to memex with the query string: ?wprov=sfla1) so memex added:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_problem?wprov=sfla1
and later when I entered the same page from my laptop the query was droped:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_problem
So when I highlighted some text a new entry was introduced to memex.
Now I have two entries:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_problem
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_problem?wprov=sfla1
only the first is marked as annotated.

mobile domain poses another challenge:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidirectional_transformation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidirectional_transformation
doesn't share annotations.
P.S
https://web.hypothes.is/
seem to have solved this issue (I tested only this specific case of wikipedia)
They are open source (I think) it might be possible to take a look for inspiration :)
