Great idea. I liked the tutorial too. I have some questions: Are you planning to release a firefox extension version? Is this going to be free? I wasn't able to find anything about pricing on the site. Nice job!

Thanks! We plan on building for Firefox and safari soon! It will be free, with maybe some premium features.

This is great!

I actually developed a very similar project called LightRaft that also lets you comment on any website. However, the difference here is that I'm serving public and open discussion, rather than private conversations.

There definitely seems to be a ton of potential for this to be a great tool for collaboration. I look forward to seeing where this goes. Keep it up!

Thanks Jesse! The concept of discussion around content is really interesting - both public and private.

Note that for people without American layout on their keyboard the shift + 2 will not work. I had to set my keyboard layout to American for it to work - you should probably fix that.

Edit: Came off a little hostile, I like the idea otherwise and may try to convince my friends to use it.

+1 for LightRaft. It works everywhere on the web, and is unmoderated/uncensored. The quintessence of free speech.

Thanks Tangokat, We've heard this a bunch. Just for my notes, what keyboard are you using and what is the shortcut on that keyboard?

Thanks for the support! Just one clarification though: it's user-moderated by voting. The comments won't be deleted but will auto-collapse with enough downvotes.

Wasn't there something called tribal fusion or something similar many years ago, amongst several others.

Personally, I can't see the point, for example, if I were a product site, I wouldn't some 3rd party able to spew messages all over it, so at best, getting sites to pay you is probably not a business model.

But good luck anyway.
