    The full idea and demo:http://www.leofec.com/modx-revolution/inline-comments-for-modx.html
    Please help me test it vigorously: for intuitiveness, speed etc...let's see if Quip will also hold up.

    Since this is still a Quip experiment, I can provide codes on demand. The general idea below (in my opinion) is fantastic, and can already help anyone.

    <b class="marker">Paragraph 1</b> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

    On Submit, surreptitiously insert a HTML tag marker in each Quip comment, as in the above.
    Use pure JavaScript (for speed sake) to locate the corresponding paragraph in your article; or as in this project, each Shakespearean line already has a span id. But in most use cases, you'll have to dynamically generate this.

    I am expecting your awesome creative feedback,
    Cheers

      Very nice! I can't imagine ever needing such a feature myself, but I can still greatly admire the technique behind it.

          And after some thought on the issue, I have been able to think of scenarios where this would be useful. Collaboration on editing resources, for one thing. I can never remember the service that Jason and several others are using to write articles on MODX, but it has something like this in edit mode. I have a suspicion that it won't be long before other uses become obvious.
