Thanks @tophee.

The current prototype works by putting the grabbed web site in an iframe on the left, and a Discourse instance in an iframe on the right. The Discourse instance runs a specific plugin that changes Discourse display and exchanges data (user actions) with the left iframe. There’s also an external database to store the section-topics associations.

Hypothes.is and Open Annotation sound great! I’ll have a deeper look at them.

This is how I see **annotations vs. discussions for working on a document** :

- Annotations/comments:
  - Supported by many tools
  - Can be put directly inside a document → nice and easy UX
  - Suitable for a small amount of comments → ok for traditional (small teams) collaborative work

- Discussions & votes:
  - AFAIK, only supported by a few specific tools in the field of participatory democracy
  - Can’t be put directly inside a document → problematic UX
  - Suitable for thousands of comments → ok for massively collaborative work
