Wow, great questions, great feedback.
1. Design: We start with designs from 99designs.com. Then, we have Ryan (CEO and great with photoshop) heavily refine our selections. Afterwards, we convert the designs to html using psd2html services. Again, heavy refinement is needed before the code is actually usable. Here's a link to our previous design: http://blog.webnotes.net/image.axd?picture=webnotesnet.jpg http://blog.webnotes.net/image.axd?picture=webnotesnet.jpg
2. If the contents of the page change, we first try to relocate your highlights/notes. If your highlighted texts have disappeared, we add a "page changed" notification at the bottom of the screen which contains the text you originally highlighted.
3. We do think about public sharing of notes, though our primary focus is on improving research. Several other sites have focused upon social annotations without great success, and so we hesitate when considering such options. Also, the UI does seem tricky. If we were to implement more sharing-related features (you can already share annotated pages through email or permalink), UI would be of utmost importance to us. Several of our engineers have taken usability classes (6.831 was awesome!), and we pride ourselves in the simplicity of our product.
4. We are looking into implementing your suggestions. Thanks for pointing this out.
