What I like most about Medium, in terms of design interaction, is the ability to comment any part of the text.

Is there any open source blog engine that has that feature?

This reminds me of the UI ideas of Doug Engelbart, like purple numbers[1] (a unique ID and link for each paragraph of text so it's easy to refer to the exact bit of text from other sources).

It's not a blog engine, but NYT's Emphasis library does implement deep linking & highlighting of specific sentences.

I swear that the first time I had ever seen it was in the Djangobook, but I just went to view it for the first time in years, and it doesn't seem to have that functionality. Starting to wonder if I had imagined it.
