Sidenote

Hello Product Hunt! 👋 I’m thrilled to share my first release and join the ranks of product launchers! To quickly address some of the most common questions: "Does it work on..." - YouTube? Yup. - Amazon? Yup. - Google Search? Yup. - Product Hunt? Yup. - Your website? Yup. 👀 Sidenote was born from my own frustrations with the current state of community conversation online. I was tired of needing separate accounts for every site I wanted to comment or live chat on—be it blogs, Q&As, shopping sites, social media, or entertainment. A large number of pages don't have support for either. Along with this, I find myself immediately going to the comments when I read something that I find interesting or don't understand. When there isn't a place for comments, I'm left sifting through search results and forums trying to find someone who has had the same issue before. Now we can all leave those days behind. Sidenote provides both a community comment section and live chat completely free of charge. I am going to be hanging out in the live chat on this page for the day, drop in and say hello! - Dallin

Hey @dalurness really nice, looks like Disqus comments on steroids 💪🏻 Group conversations per page would be an amazing feature to add. Congrats on the launch 🚀

This app is amazing, great idea @dalurness ! I feel your same pain for the "account madness", and I feel more frustrated when I'm unable to comment/communicate on web pages not providing comment functionalities. As @crebuh pointed out, it reminds discuss in some way. It would be nice to give site owners the possibility to embed comments on the page using a script, a kind of window on the sidenote app. I hope your app will be used by many people ;)

Hey Dallin, How do you handle potential spam or abusive comments? Do website owners have any control over the Sidenote discussions happening on their pages? It would be interesting to see how this could potentially change online discourse. Congrats on the launch!

Sidenote is an innovative browser extension that brings real-time conversations to any webpage! To boost user engagement, consider adding a feature that highlights trending discussions across different websites to help users discover popular topics.

Congrats on the launch, @dalurness! Sidenote is such a smart idea for unifying community conversations across the web. The live chat feature sounds super useful. I'm curious about how you plan to handle content moderation—are there any plans for user-generated moderation or reporting tools? Can't wait to see how this evolves!

Hi Dallin, congrats on the launch! Just a question, is there somewhere I can open up all the conversation I have had in the past at once or will I have to go to that page again to answer ?
