"For instance, I want inline comments. Putting everyone's comments at the
end is pretty lame. Even worse, most blog packages these days don't even
seem to have Slashdot-style threaded commenting. Instead, the comments
are ordered chronologically, just like the entries."
Isn't this what Rap Genius does?
- jpwagner 14y agoI may misunderstand, but it seems that rap genius has a specific type of annotation (ie best explanation rather than comment-thread). I think the OP's suggestion is more similar to how soundcloud does comments.
- nagrom 14y agoIt's essentially a threaded HTML-box overlay for a certain part of text. I think that's how you would implement such a system, isn't it? Just because RG uses it for explanations doesn't mean that it can't be used for exposition/comments. In fact, I think that when RG blogged on their problems with Heroku, this is the style that they used.
- jpwagner 14y agoif all you meant was text-overlay, then yes. in fact, lot's of sites do this.
