Kontxt – Social web layer with CMS and social network

Hey, I’m Dave, the founder of Kontxt.io (https://www.kontxt.io). Engage directly on the web and save, organize, and share highlights and notes. Follow people. Join groups. And search content. Here’s a 2-minute demo (https://youtu.be/Th4vaOzuGnU). It works on desktop and mobile.

Kontxt – Social web layer with CMS and social network launched on May 2, 2022 with 59 votes, #756 of 2,942 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

In plain words

Kontxt is a social platform that lets users highlight, annotate, and discuss content directly on web pages and PDFs.

The highest-risk window is the first 72 hours after deploy, when drift is invisible and rollback plans go untested. Instrumenting that window is what separates a demo from a system. Animated illustration: a sentence on a web page is selected, highlighted with Kontxt, saved as a memory, and an AI chat answers a question by citing that highlight. Model-agnostic. Agent-agnostic. Kontxt sits above your AI stack and decides what…from kontxt.io
