Wow, this is like the Workflowy of feedback apps. Nice work.

One request: make it possible to edit a comment within a minute or 2 of posting it. Also, make it possible to reposition a marker.

I find Workflowy aesthetically clunky. This is all the usability goodness of Workflowy and great visual design. One of the best things I've seen on the web in awhile. Really impressed.

One thing I noticed is that in the feedback balloon screenshot, there seems to be a dot overlapping on top of the feedback balloon. Also, personally, I always like having a "close" or "x" button on these types of balloons, instead of the balloons disappearing when I move my cursor away.

I'm guessing that the dot colors have some meaning? Having a color legend might help (if one doesn't exist already... hard to tell from screenshots and my own testing didn't show any legend.)

Otherwise, looks good!

I've made similar prototype few years ago, if someone interested here is source code:

Realtime stuff build on top of GAE.

Feedback for this feedback app: it does not like uploads. Upload fails with message 'Hello. We haven't been formally introduced yet but I'm Sir Red Pen. I'm sorry to say I've let you down. This upload has failed. I'm deeply sorry. This usually doesn't happen. I swear. I will reload the page for you and I ask you try again. I will get it right this time.'

Same. Chrome Developer / OSX.

Same here. Firefox 20.0.1 / Windows.

The following call returned a 406: GET http://redpen.io/authenticate?s3_object_type=image/png&s...

According to the Firebug net console it looks like the upload doesn't even start.

Pretty cool. Just to try it out I uploaded a random picture from my desktop which happened to be somewhat large so navigating was somewhat awkward. It would be nice if you could zoom in/out.

Comments at the right edge of the screen are unreadable as the balloon is partly outside the window. Would be nice if they would pop up to the left, in that case.

Beautiful design nonetheless!
