This is EXACTLY the product I wanted to make, thanks!
I think a use case for which you could sell it is collaborative class note-taking. My teachers distribute PDFs of their lecture slides before class which students use to take notes on (so that they don't have to recreate figures, etc). I have always thought it would be great for this PDF-markup process to take place live in some sort of Google Doc interface. This looks like the best solution I have seen so far!
If you really wanted to run with the student use case, you could then allow students to publicly/privately organize the annotated notes by class and lecture slot so that other people could benefit from the notes.
- jordanthoms 13y agoWe actually made that product first! - http://www.notable.ac http://www.notable.ac is similar, but made specifically for students, documents are organized by course and notes can be made public/private/shared with friends. It does take a bit more work to setup, because you have to upload the documents to the site first (we process them into images on the server, and support Word/Powerpoint as well as PDF). We had trouble getting traction in the education space - So we built the Chrome version, which works much better for single documents and for uses outside education. But we're still keeping notable.ac running so feel free to give it a try.
