How do you deal with the screen resolution problem?
We capture the dimensions of the page when the toolbar loads. People viewing the MarkUp with different screen resolutions might see an "empty" background or need to scroll a bit. Here's an example: http://markup.io/v/x9ybmz4e5k7r
Great work. Bookmarked it. 2 questions: 1) Is there a way to erase or reset the drawing in case i bungle it up? 2) It'd be brilliant if you could collaborate using the same URL. I sent a markup URL to someone who wanted to share his notes on my annotations and he hit respond, drew the appropriate stuff and hit publish only to find that there was a new link that had to be pushed to me for it to be seen. Again, I under…
1) Yep. Keyboard only for now (though we're looking into adding UI controls): You can select any shape, then hit backspace/delete. You can also select every shape with ctrl+a/cmd+a. Also ctrl+z/cmd+z and ctrl+shift+z/cmd+shift+z to go back and forth in the history. 2) We've got some ideas about making collaborating easier (revision history, realtime multi-user drawing, wave-style replaying, &c.) What would work well…
re. #2, i think even a revision history, keeping the same URL or a list of revisions on the dropdown should be very useful while you develop the entire product.

What about using socket.io to provide a real-time collaborative environment?
Here is the typical use case: my business partner is in Australia and I'm in China. We often browse the internet "together" to share some design inspirations. For now, we have to include position info in the skype call to say "if you look at the trending keywords on the right hand side, blah, blah". It'll be super nice for us to look at the same page and I can see his mouse movement.
Cool. That (drawing on an existing web page to mark it up) is the same use-case we had that led to building Twiddla. It's pretty much the same thing, but realtime & multi-user. Good luck!
