Very nice and better than expected!!! A few things I would like to see improved: 1) Text size - we should be able to make the text bigger otherwise can't be used for presenting. Edit: It actually it possible to make the text bigger, but very hidden... You have to scroll right to get more font sizes and often, the scrolling doesn't work. Also typing in the text size doesn't always work. 2) Short cut for "add text" .. would be super useful to quickly add text when presenting :) 3) Custom short cuts would be amazing! 4) It would be nice to be able to save "favorites" or "last used", so for example if I always use a red arrow to point: It would be nice if it's always saved in the main toolbar without me having to go to the 3 dots for "more", choosing the line, adding an arrow and changing the color each time I restart Chrome. Thanks!

Tried to sign up, got "Sorry, we are not able to process your registration. Please try later." Really wish I could just use the extension without having to sign up.

I was looking for an simple whiteboard annotator tool and this jumped out. Better than I expected. The tool works seamlessly with webpages, keeping the annotation right on the place even when you scroll the page. Perfect tool for graphic tablets.
