The tree annotation tool is a simple and easy-to-use web app for creating trees. The user provides a sequence of symbols and then creates a tree from bottom to top by successively combining elements. The tool includes functionality for loading and exporting trees in JSON or qtree format (useful for LaTeX), as well as a preview visualization of the current tree. Trees can be easily shared using special links that encode a tree in the URL, like this.
