Hey Product Hunt! Web browsing is currently a solitary activity. You may discover a cool blog, but, unlike a Google Doc, you can't leave a comment on it for everyone to see. Web Highlighter fixes this. Go to webhighlighter.com/upload and and paste in (almost) any URL to get a real time, collaborative version of the web-page. Share it with people and let them comment away. Features: - 🖊️ View other people's comments & reply to them - ⌨️ Write your own comments by highlighting text on the page and hitting the comment button - 👀 See other people's mouse cursors and what text they've currently selected on the web-page - 💬 Chat with people by pressing / - ⚡ Everything is real time. Comments, mouse cursors, replies all update instantly.

@galaxyx7 Thanks for the kind words. This idea is an offshoot of: https://chimu.sh, which is a tool I built to combine Stack Overflow with books. (Roughly, Chimu is a collaborative e-reader that lets people read books and view other people's highlights. Each highlight links to a Stack Overflow-style forum). I wanted to bring Chimu to every web-page, and so Web Highlighter was born.

Really nice idea! I see another more business oriented user case. A customer of a web agency comments on the web highlighter version of his/her website, the web agency replies and or implemented the changes. Maybe s possible permission feature of a future paid plan: keep the link to the web highlighter version of the page hidden. Cool idea!
