Edit: wow, the whole thing is seriously broken. Emailing them now.
Edit 2: It's not as broken as I thought, and these guys are quick to reply and try to figure things out. To be clear, I haven't gotten it to run arbitrary JS, just include arbitrary HTML, which isn't as dangerous.
Anyone else already find the XSS in genius.it? Edit: wow, the whole thing is seriously broken. Emailing them now.

Very neat content, but does it have to be formatted like this? I respect that it preserves the original file, but it makes it very difficult to read. Comments added to the source code would serve much better for the purposes of understanding the code. This tool makes it impossible to read the annotation and the source code at the same time. Clicking on 'set' for example, about 20-30 lines in, lets you read the annota…
This formatting style for annotated sources always seems to work so well: http://robflaherty.github.io/jquery-annotated-source/docs/01...
I would actually like this in an IDE. Visual Studio kind of does this with header comments but it would be great to be able to show/hide comments with links, rich text,...

Came here to say this. I cannot fathom how this is considered usable at all. There are also times that you click on the block of code to read, and it sends you back to the top of the page. I'm more interested now in how this application got pushed to production in its current state.
Definitely one of the biggest challenges in building this product is getting the annotation interface to work consistently in a “host page” environment over which we have pretty much no control or advanced knowledge. So for instance, the jump-you-to-the-top bug isn't something we've seen in the general case; we're currently getting to the bottom of why it's happening on this particular page.
How long did it take for John to write this initial version? Any idea?

Sorry about this bug! We're working on a fix now.

Also, after a long piece of annotated text its annoying that the box pops up at the very bottom of the text rather than side by side.
