Useful for learning and education
From 4 comments
I love this idea. It's like crowd-sourcing code comments! That has tremendous education potential, especially for people like me who learned by looking at other people's code,…
mikeleeorg on HNA lot of the commenters on here are looking at this in terms of normal code commenting or something similiar. However, for something more akin to a tutorial, having in depth line…
joeconway on HNReally great idea, especially for beginners.
kaila on HNI like the concept. It's code commenting and analysis that's out of the way. There are many ways to look at and digest a piece of code. This is very helpful for learning.

Good idea that fills a gap in code annotation
From 3 comments
I have actually been telling people as soon a Rap Genius released Code Genius I would stop using Stack Overflow altogether, at first glance this still has a ways to go but I'm…
zbruhnke on HNI smell a hit. The pitch is killer and I even like the name (although I'm not sure I can pronounce it).
futurist on HNGreat idea. Does anyone know of a non-social version of this type of annotation, i.e. a static version that you write in the comments yourself? This would be a great improvement…

Objections
Site had XSS vulnerabilities
From 3 comments
Site seems to be vulnerable to XSS http://kurikku.com/s/52ef1679e4b0630f318682c5/%3Cscript%3Ealert-4-%3C-slash-script%3E (Harmless alert popup)
Jagat on HNSomeone has figured out how to do JS injection: http://kurikku.com/s/52ef1679e4b0630f318682c5
umanwizard on HNYou need to escape user input to avoid XSS on the page.

Display bugs with tooltips and colors in Chrome, IE11 and Montserrat font
From 4 comments
Nice work, just to tell you that font Montserrat looks really bad on Chrome / Win7 and Opera / Win7 (both latest)
zebra on HNAnd styles are not shown in IE11.
CSDude on HNThere is a bug in showing tooltips. For instance open this: http://kurikku.com/s/52ef0f9ce4b0630f318682b3/apl-generate-polyominoes-in-apl Hover line 5, and move the mouse…
gedrap on HNLots of blinking and flashing when I mouse over stuff, and it's not clear what includes a comment and what doesn't. Also I really liked that documentation thing someone showed us…

Name is hard to pronounce, spell and remember
From 2 comments
What does the name mean? Nothing on the site or rudimentary Googling. Seems like it'll be a tough url to share verbally without having to spell it out.
bdcravens on HNI need to wonder why people insist on using terrible names like these. It takes careful analysis of the word just to be able to read and pronounce it, and I will certainly never…

Pitch via Rap Genius is unclear to people who don't know it
From 1 comment
"Rap Genius for Code" might be an amazing pitch for avid users of Rap Genius. I wouldn't know. I don't know or care exactly what Rap Genius is, even though I remember there was a…

Requests
GitHub and git repo integration
From 3 comments
My first thought was: github integration would be killer. I would pay to be able to code review with this tool on git repos.
bbaumgar on HNWhy not integrate with github? That seems obvious to me
grimtrigger on HNMy first thought was, "it doesn't have github integration?" Great prototype idea, github/gitorious/bitbucket/etc integration would be the killer feature for a killer app.

Embeddable annotated code, like gists
From 1 comment
One thing really useful would be allow one to embed this on their site. (just the code and annotation, and one can decide no one can comment or something). So it's like github…

User profile pages and filtering by language or user
From 3 comments
It would be better if there were user profile pages. And a URL structure like http://kurikku.com/user/hello-world would look nifty in my opinion.
krmbzds on HNIt looks interesting. I would like to see the ability to search by language by clicking on the [language] part of headers though. Also maybe being able to view annotations by user.
krapp on HNCool, I think this is a great idea.. Some thoughts: - Currate the results on the frontpage a little? It's filled with test posts - Group & filter (e.g. on language) - IMHO this…

IDE plugin integration
From 2 comments
It would be great if you could integrate with an IDE in some fashion. I'm thinking that this could be a way of formatting comments in code that then becomes beautiful annotation…
ghayes on HNAwesome, I will use that now instead of pastebin to share my code snippets. If you can get this as a plugin into eclipse, xCode and code sharing sites like stackoverflow you have…

Questions
Why is this needed beyond normal code comments
From 2 comments
I don't see the purpose of this
shakeel_mohamed on HNKurikku is a website that allows you to annotate text or code. Aren't those code comments?

I don't recall seeing it on HN recently, but are you thinking of Docco? Example: http://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html

GitHub line comments on pull requests and commits
From 3 comments
There already is one: http://github.com/
bonemachine on HNAFAICT Github doesn't let you annotate arbitrary lines of code. It does, however, let you make line-level comments on pull requests
sheetjs on HNYou can do line-level comments on commits as well, outside of a pull request.
