I made https://kontxt.io to highlight, share, organize, and discover the best parts of the World Wide Web.
People I share articles with now know the exact parts that are relevant and they can quickly skip between the highlights and we can discuss inline to maintain context. It lets me and other people publicly share what we highlight in an easily searchable way so you can find quality content from trusted sources. Want to see what resources other people like you, in this case programmers, found useful and shared. Boom! Now you can. Starting to look into something new that you’re unfamiliar with, say investing, wouldn’t it be great to see what resources other investors previously found useful? Boom! Now you can. Now imagine having this tool at work with all your super smart go-workers? Boom! Now you can. It works for PDFs, too. It’s just a wonderful research and planning tool to save, share, organize, and discuss digital information, which is a huge time saver and productivity booster. Step 1: Google, Step 2: Kontxt, Step 3: Success. :)
It’s really a multi-purpose overlay for the entire World Wide Web with unlimited use-cases. And I’ve recently gained access To OpenAI and have some cool AI stuff coming for preemptive highlights and auto generated reading lists based on interests and past reading history.
I built this tool for myself. I’m an avid reader always looking to grow my skills. If this is you, too, sign up and let’s learn and grow together.
This is one reason I built https://kontxt.io for enterprise. It instantly connects people to specific page-parts to have localized conversations directly on the source of internal and external websites and digital documents, so everything is where you need it, when you need it, and anyone that joins later has full context.
Hello HN! I'm Dave. I've worked on https://kontxt.io for a few years. Kontxt's a multi-purpose online communication and engagement tool for 1.) ENTERPRISE productivity, 2.) interactive and remote EDUCATION, 3.) expandable native AD platform for digital publishers, and 4.) a SOCIAL network to share the best parts of the web. There's a different business model for each solution.
I've built out the product. I'm looking for a partner with notable business and sales experience in at least one of these categories: enterprise, education, digital publishing and advertising, or social. I know HN is a tech community, but if you know anyone who'd be interested, I'd love to chat and see where the future takes us. Feel free to contact me at dbodin@kontxt.io.
Hope the new year is off to a positive start for everyone! :)
Super cool--and very fast! Anyone looking to collaborate on these can easily add Kontxt (https://www.kontxt.io) right on to them and have localized discussions directly on page-parts.
I used React client-side, Node server-side, and MySQL as the db. I only mentioned Kontxt here because I demoed it for Thomson Reuters because it could be helpful for their legal professionals as a collaboration tool after they find documents via their WestLaw legal search product, and your tool reminded me of it. I actually used Kontxt as a sales pitch to highlight their annual report and add some calculations and explanations about how much money they could make. Nice work, again!
And it seems that all the posts on the changelog.com platform use highlights. I wish more people and articles did this. I actually built Kontxt (https://kontxt.io) so everyone can add highlights to websites they visit or own, but it has more interactivity with inline comments, polls, mentions, tags, and smart navigation.
Please everyone, highlight everything! It's so useful!
Hey there! I think any place to share what people create and collect feedback is cool. I just uploaded my project, but is there a way to edit the description?
Cool! Looks nice! Check out https://kontxt.io. It can convert PDFs to HTML. It also adds an inline collaboration layer to the document with inline highlights, comments, @mentions, polls, tags, and smart navigation. I've tried it on academic papers from arXiv. Awesome for sharing and collaborating with others.
I created a similar service Kontxt (https://kontxt.io) that converts PDFs to websites with Google Doc like shareable controls and inline annotations: highlights, comments (with @mentions & deep-links to page-parts), polls, and auto-scroll navigation.
