MarkLayer

Annotate any webpage — now with an MCP server for AI agents

What it does

Free, open-source web annotation tool. Draw, highlight, and pin threaded comments on any live webpage, then share one link for real-time collaboration (live cursors, voice/video). New since launch: an element inspector for AI-ready handoff, a measure tool, and an MCP server so agents like Claude Code can resolve your annotations as a work queue. No accounts, ever.

Free web app for annotating any live webpage. Paste a URL, draw and comment on the page, then share a link. No account, no email, no install. Open source.

Send your client one link. They comment straight on the live page in their own browser, without signing up or installing anything. MarkLayer is a free web app and Chrome extension for annotating any live webpage. Paste any URL on marklayer.app to draw and comment in your browser. No install required. Or use the free Chrome extension for in-place annotation on sites behind a login or with strict embed policies. Share a single link. Viewers need no extension or account. You never create an account or pay for a plan. Annotations are cleaned up 90 days after their last activity, and any comment or view resets that clock. Or add the free Chrome extension for sites the web app cannot embed. Most…from marklayer.app

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
