Here is a sample for people to go wild on. (I hope I don't regret this.) [Link removed] I have regrets. Careful, someone redirected the page to porn. Here is a pre-porn screenshot of everyone's dots- http://awesomescreenshot.com/09f19vrpf5 Here is what the feedback balloons look like (forgive the z-value issue of the dot over the ballon, that's my fault): http://awesomescreenshot.com/07819vss00

Ha ! There is an email notification every time someone comments, and no way to unsubscribe. I just got 6 emails and one minute, and Chrome re-focusing the tab automatically because gn commented alert('Moo!');

Redirection to porn? script alerts? No unsubscribe button? I suppose the OP doesn't have the slightest clue of web app security. Wouldn't use. Who knows where your email addresses are now.

People writing their first web app rarely do. Though in this case most of these things are covered by Rails' "Secure by Default" approach.

Also, comments like these are what turn newbies away from programming. It's really hard to start out, encouragement and a point in the right direction is what's needed.

Edit: Ahhh actually, you probably didn't realise that OP was a newbie because mods changed the title of the post. That's unfortunate. Carry on.

I've made similar prototype few years ago, if someone interested here is source code: https://github.com/buger/PointOut Realtime stuff build on top of GAE.

Built one too, but with Meteor. I actually create a login for you automatically with auto-generated username and you can rename your username if you care. Also can copy paste images, not just drag drop
