Annotate Save

What is it?

It is a simple web app that lets you write Markdown side notes on your code, without making changes to the source files.

The idea is to write notes and comments outside the code so that code stays clean, short, and readable. Notes are matched based on similarity when the code changes. The matching algorithm might need improvements.

We intend to use it for personal note taking to understand code, writing tutorials, and for collaboration.
