Nohts is a simple Javascript-based tool for overlaying annotations on text (plain text, code, etc.) or math expressions (LaTeX). Nohts can then be exported as PNG images.
I built this so I could make better slide decks, better documentation, better Slack messages, and just generally clearer explanations in my life as a developer and data scientist. I hope it helps you too!
To try it yourself, visit the Nohts website.
Nohts is a work in progress. I welcome all feedback! You can find me on Twitter at @iamchriswalker or email me at cw25@mac.com.
(I also welcome issue reports and pull requests!)
Just a few simple steps:
- Enter text or a LaTeX expression
- Draw highlight boxes around the parts you want to explain
- Fill in annotations
- Position the annotations
- Export your Noht to a PNG file
- Profit!
Nohts will never replace good code comments. Do not use Nohts is you are allergic to Nohts.
