Projects

Several annotated pages under one link — how a project is created, ordered, shared, and exported.

A board is one page you annotate, at a link like pagecomment.com/board/xn834….

A project is several of those under a single link, at /project/…. Every page in a project keeps its own board, its own annotations and its own live session; the project is the ordered list that ties them together.

Creating one

There is no "new project" button. A project appears the first time you move to a second page from a board you are already annotating.

Start with one board, then go somewhere else in any of these ways:

  • Click a link inside the page you are annotating. This is the usual path — just browse, and each page you land on is kept.
  • Edit the URL field in the toolbar and press Enter.
  • On a phone, tap the link button, type a URL, and tap Go.
  • Upload a PDF or an image.

Whichever you use, what you have already drawn is saved, a board is created for the new page, and you land on /project/… with a Pages strip along the top. From that point on you are in a project.

Opening a URL from the homepage does not create one — that gives you a single board. You have to be on a board for the promotion to happen.

The Pages strip

Tabs sit in the order you visited them and are labelled by hostname and path. Click one to switch to it.

  • Add page takes a URL and appends it to the end.
  • The trash icon on a tab takes that page out of the project. The board itself is not deleted — it stays at its own /board/… link, annotations intact.

A project holds up to 50 pages.

Working together

Each page is its own live session. Two people looking at different tabs of the same project are in different rooms: you will not see their cursor and they will not see yours until you are both on the same page.

Everything else behaves as it does on a single board — annotations sync as they are drawn, and anyone holding the link can draw.

Exporting

Exporting from a project gives you one Markdown document covering all of it: a count across every page, then a section per page with its URL and its annotations in order. That is the whole review in a single file, which is usually what you want to hand to someone.

Sharing and expiry

The /project/… link is the project. Anyone who opens it can read and write — the id in the link is the only credential, so treat it the way you would treat a password, and do not post it anywhere you would not post the annotations themselves.

Any single page still works on its own /board/… link if you would rather send just one of them.

A board or a project is deleted after 90 days without being opened. Opening one starts the clock again, so anything you are still referencing stays.

Using a project with an AI agent

The MCP server works on one board at a time. Pointing it at a /project/… link is refused, with a message asking you to open the page you mean and use its /board/… link instead.
