Hi,

So discourse looks to me like a great forum platform. Ability to start topics, join in, etc.

However, we also need ability to have the commonly seen per-page comment threads that are separate from forum threads.

Is there a way to essentially have 1 topic dedicated to every page on our web app so that people can start independent commenting threads on each page?

Would these per-page topics show up on the main forum topic list? If so, is there a way to filter them out so that forum consists of only topics that aren’t page specific?

Thank you!  
Pete

Yes using [Embed Discourse comments on another website via Javascript](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-discourse-comments-via-javascript/31963)

You can set the category holding those topics as `Suppress category from latest topics.` to not clutter the forum.
