Review a page by commenting on the exact words.
Select text on any page and say what you think of it. The comment stays attached to those words, and everyone who opens the page sees it.
Try it on this page. Select any sentence here, then click the Comment button that appears.
On this page, comments are saved in your browser only. On your own site they're shared.
Why it exists
Reviewing a prototype by email gets you vague notes: "the second paragraph feels off". It's slow to work out which paragraph, and what was meant.
With this, the reviewer selects the words they mean and writes what's wrong. You get the words and the comment together, in one list, without anyone needing an account.
It started as a way to get quick reactions to early prototypes, from people who had no time for a tool.
How it works
- Select. A reviewer highlights text and writes a comment.
- Discuss. A side panel lists every thread. People reply, and resolve what's done.
- Fix. Open comments are plain JSON. You, a script or an AI assistant can read them, change the page, and mark them resolved.
Pin a comment to an image
Some things you can't select. Open the panel, choose Pin on image, then click the spot you mean. The pin stays at that point, even when the image is resized.
Try it on the wireframe above. Pins are saved in your browser only.
Add it to a page
One line before </body>:
<script src="/comments.js" defer></script>Comments are stored by a small serverless function in the same repo. Deploy it to Netlify, set an admin token, and you're done. There's no database and nothing to build.
What you get
Anchored to text
Comments find their words again when the page loads, and survive small edits.
Threads
Replies, resolve and reopen, and a toggle for resolved ones.
No accounts
People type a name. You decide who can load the page.
One file, no dependencies
The widget injects its own styles. It works with any site, any framework.
What it doesn't do
- No sign-in. Anyone who can load the page can comment. Put review copies behind a password or a preview URL.
- No notifications. Nobody is emailed. You look at the panel or read the API.
- Not for busy pages. It's built for a handful of reviewers, not a public comment section.
