SideComments.js is a front-end UI component that adds Medium.com-style inline commenting to sections of web content. It handles only the display layer; comment storage and retrieval are left to the developer.

Use cases

  • add medium-style inline comments to articles
  • let users comment on specific paragraphs of a page
  • section-level commenting ui for a blog
  • replace bottom-of-page comment streams with inline annotations

When to choose

  • you want Medium-style per-section commenting and are on a legacy jQuery stack

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained library or modern framework support
  • you need backend comment storage or moderation features
  • your project does not use jQuery
