Show HN: A simple way to annotate code

Posted by ezl on Friday December 13, 2013 @05:34PM
from the show-hn dept.

I needed a solution for annotating translations for learning Japanese.

I wanted something that created output documents like backbone.js's awesome annotated source code [1], but couldn't find it, so I made it.

Hopefully it's useful to you for annotating code, translations, or any arbitrary text. I think it's great for educational material.

Pull requests welcome.

I think the examples are good, it works well for both those cases. Theres a big difference between editing something and annotating it with little comments on corrections, vs http://www.getannotations.com/ where both are prominent.

Good work man.

Can you make the license permissive? MIT, BSD or Apache?

For the code presentation, Have you seen pycco? http://fitzgen.github.io/pycco/

Nice work!

It'll be great if the textarea for commenting grew in height as you typed more.
