In plain words

Share-this is a text-sharing tool that replicates Medium's text selection feature for other websites. When users select text, a menu appears offering options to highlight snippets, add comments, or share selections on Twitter. Built by a full-stack developer, it brings collaborative text annotation capabilities to any web page, making it easy to emphasize and discuss specific passages with others.

Massimo Artizzu Follow Full-stack developer. Foolish enough to reinvent the wheel. May 6, 2017 · 5 min read share-this: Medium-like text sharing Ever read an article on Medium , and tried to select some text for copy/pasting purposes? I bet you did. So you also noticed the little balloon that appears on top of your selection, allowing you to do some nice things like highlighting that snippet in a collaborative effort to give it more prominence, or commenting on it or share it on Twitter. I think it’s a pretty cool feature. Now, you may have noticed this is not an article on Medium. We’re, in fact, on GitHub pages. It looks like Medium, but it’s because I’m joking…from maxart2501.github.io
