   Thanks for the heads up. For what it's worth, it appears that it was a problem with the version of AngularJS we were using (1.2.3). When we next push updates to the site and upgrade Angular, this problem should be fixed.

   Thanks for taking the time to write this up -- it's extremely helpful. We're almost certainly going to implement at least a few of your tweaks. I really like the idea of adding marks in the scrollbar to the left; indeed, that&#x27

   Yikes. Would you mind sending a screenshot of what you're seeing to jake (at) casetext.com?

   Are you in Safari by any chance? I just heard someone else was experiencing this in the most recent version of Safari. We'll have to see what's up with it.

   The yellow scroll bar (the "heatmap") is actually meant as a way of showing the most important parts of a document, and is meant primarily for other document types that we have on the site, for example, judicial opinions (see, e.g

   Thanks for the heads up. We definitely designed primarily for desktop use (where most people probably read legal docs), but definitely should do something for mobile as well. For the time being, we may just hide the annotations on small scr

   We've heard that feedback from a few other people as well, and are working towards implementing it. You're right that this would require us to put spaces between each of the paragraphs, so this likely shouldn't be the default

    I'm not sure about the YCVC notes in particular, but if I had to guess, they are probably uncapped with a so-called "Most Favored Nation" clause that gives the YCVC safe-holders the benefit of the founders' most favorabl

    This is awesome -- thank you for taking the time to write out this thoughtful feedback. We just removed some of the animations, specifically the stuff zooming up and down the right-hand column. We'll work through some of these other th

    Thanks for these thoughts. Just pushed some changes that may fix things (i.e., the "Add Tag" button doesn't appear about the person's name anymore). They don't fade in/out yet, although that's something we

    What do people think about the changes we just pushed? Do they address these issues, or is it still distracting?

    This is something we'll be adding very soon. Although one thing we want to avoid is having the actual text one is reading cluttered by highlighting. The overall look and feel we may end up adopting is a lot like Medium, where you can m

    This is absolutely something we can do. We'll try this out later today and see how it looks.

    To follow up on this -- we believe that over the long-run this will produce better results than Lexis and Westlaw. Because users can add any related cases (not just those that cite the case), you get a more complete picture of other cases y
