Protonotes — add notes to your prototypes

Looks like this might be a handy tool for HTML prototypes — Protonotes. Unlike other models, which are either browser specific, or require a plug-in, Prototype notes is just a single line of Javascript you put in the header of your page and works on all major browsers.

I haven’t tried it yet, beyond the demo, but I think I’ll try it out on our next prototype.

From the site:

Protonotes are notes that you add to your prototype that allow project team members to discuss system functionality, design, and requirements directly on the prototype. You can think of it like a discussion board/wiki in direct context of your prototype.

To enable Protonotes on your prototypes, all you have to do is copy and paste a few lines of JavaScript into your prototype. That’s it. Once you do that, anyone who visits your prototype can add/edit/delete notes. They don’t have to install anything or sign up for anything. You can even hook up Protonotes to your own MySQL database with a single line of JavaScript.
