This is something that is lacking from GitHub that may be a good opportunity to implement at the app layer.

What I want is to create an annotation, like [1] that will link to a short snippet of text, or even pop it up in a window. It should be added to Markdown, and use the same number flow engine as the ordered lists.

I really just want to be able to add a wry note there, then have other people be able to comment on that note, the way Facebook does for pictures, but inline.

The closest thing to this seems to be gists, but even those seem to heavy weight, at least on the website. I'm sure we can coerce them into service in Lemacs.

Perhaps look into "comment per commit line".

This would mean this would only work for committed text.

But Gists are pretty light weight in usage.
