On Firefox 3.6.10/Win7, I get this: http://i.imgur.com/cNt7g.png

Each number was drawn individually as shown. Each number took longer before showing up on the page, to the point where 4 and 5 tossed up the Firefox "unresponsive script" dialog.

Apart from that, this definitely has potential, and would actually give me a reason to un-mothball my tablet notebook. Props!

Nice. Some ideas (that you probably already have): typable sticky notes; a library of icons/images to overlay; audio notes; have some gestures (double-click like an iOS double-tap?) auto-select containing DOM elements.

You can get something pretty sticky-note-ish by dragging a box with the text tool. And yep, we've got some of those on our list.

Aha. Had no idea there was a text tool -- since it's not in the frontpage demo.

Very nice work! I'm seeing a bug in the drawing demo on the front page. I can draw the first line and it works as expected, but if I release the mouse and try to draw a second line it's not working correctly. It doesn't show the shape that I've drawn until I release the mouse and it connects the end of the first line to the start of the second.

I also have a similar problem, and I'm using Safari 5.0.2.
