Thanks for the wonderful tool. Can you help me remove the "add reply" part and changing the UI of the annotation box? Id like to extend functionality of this for a personal project

Hi, thanks for the kind feedback!

Unfortunately, the old RecogitoJS hasn't aged well. Extending the functionality is, by now, almost impossible - at least if you want to use a framework (React etc.) If you just want to get rid of the reply box, I recommend simply applying display: none. to the reply container element in your own CSS stylesheet.

If you want to implement a more comprehensively customized popup, you may want to consider switching to RecogitoJS's successor project. (Currently called, simply, "Recogito Text Annotator"):

The caveat: I did not yet have the time to write documentation. At the moment, you'd have to dig yourself through the source code. (Specifically the demo setups in the test/ directories.) The new version will be especially useful if you use React, BTW. But even the vanilla JS is probably easier to handle than old RecogitoJS.
