What is sidenotex?

sidenotex (side notes extension) is a collaborative web annotation tool that lets teams share notes and insights about web pages within their organization. Think of it as shared margins for the web, where colleagues can leave thoughts and comments that are visible to everyone in their company domain.

How it works

The main interface to sidenotex is our Chrome Extension, which lets you:

• (1) Add annotations to any webpage in a click of a button
• (2) See your colleagues' annotations as you browse
• (1+2=3) Share insights and knowledge within your organization

How it looks

Privacy & Sharing

Your annotations are only presented to others in your organization (those with the same email domain). This creates a safe space for internal knowledge sharing while maintaining privacy between different organizations.

99% Generated with AI

sidenotex was generated with AI as a learning exercise. Mainly using Cursor (https://cursor.sh/). I am not a professional developer, so please don't judge the code quality too harshly, I corrected as many issues as I could.

What may be interesting for you is to see the prompts used, have a look at (prompts) where you will see all the prompts used.

It took less than 12 hours to develop the whole project. Do embrace GenAI!

Farewell Cloud

No cloud services were harmed during development. sidenotes is also an experiment on no-cloud development. It runs on a single VM, with sqlite database. Deployment is done with the help of Kamal.
