Inline Comments WordPress Plugin
Inline Comments adds your comment system to the side of paragraphs and other sections (like headlines and images) of your post.
It performs native with WordPress comments. The comment area is shown when you click the comment count bubbles (left or right) beside any section.
When publishing a comment next to a paragraph, the comment is published in place without a page reload (using Ajax; requires plugin WP Ajaxify Comments). The comment bubbles are not showing up on small screens/mobile sites in many cases.
IMPORTANT: This plugin is no longer supported. Minor fixes might be published but no new features are going to be developed. However, you can contribute on Github and enhancements will be published to the official WordPress directory.
