Readers ask, you answer
Let readers ask on the page.
Ask a question on any page. Get the answer in context. Make the next version clearer. Every private thread remembers the page, version and language it was asked on.
Ask where the doubt is
A question that knows where it was asked.
Readers ask on the page that raised the doubt, in the language they are reading. Decktrace saves the page, the version and the language with the question, so you never have to guess what they were looking at.
- Asked on the page, not in a separate inbox
- Works on a phone as well as a laptop
- Saved with page, version and language
Answer in context
Reply next to the page they asked about.
Every question opens beside the page it came from, as the reader saw it. Write your reply there. If the reader verified their email, the reply reaches their inbox and waits in their thread on the page.
Every thread remembers its version
Old questions keep their page.
When you publish a new version, readers get the new page and every earlier thread stays where it was asked. Open an old question and you see the page and version the reader was looking at, not today's.
- Each thread is pinned to one version
- New questions start on the new version
- Nothing is moved or rewritten when you publish
Answers make the next version
When you answer, fix the page.
When you answer a question, Decktrace suggests where that answer belongs in the deck and drafts the addition. You edit it, approve it and publish it as a new version. Nothing is published until you choose.
Private by default
Each thread stays between two people.
A question is seen by the reader who asked it and by you, the owner of the deck. Other readers of the same link see the same page with nothing on it, so people can ask what they would never ask in front of others.
Also in every thread
Small things that keep the conversation going.
An email when someone asks, a clear view of what is still open, and questions that sit right next to the reading behind them.

How it connects
Works with the rest of Decktrace.
Questions
Questions, answered.
No. A thread is visible to the reader who asked it and to the owner of the deck. Other people reading the same link see the page without it.
No account is needed to ask. A reader who opened the deck with an email code has a verified email, and gets an email when you answer.
They stay with the page and version they were asked on. Readers see the new version from then on, and when you open an older thread you see the page as that reader saw it.
No. When you answer a question, Decktrace can suggest where the answer belongs in the deck and draft the addition. You edit it, approve it and publish it as a new version. Nothing changes until you choose.
The plan is to let you choose, deck by deck, whether readers can ask. How that setting works is not settled yet. We will publish the details before launch.
