Amazing tutorial, best UI of an annotation extension I've seen so far. 10/10.

для дальнейшей работы необходимо обязательно войти в аккаунт. Просят слишком много разрешений: Информация, позволяющая идентифицировать личность Например, имя, домашний адрес, адрес электронной почты, возраст или номер удостоверения личности Данные для аутентификации Например, пароли, учетные данные, секретные вопросы или PIN-коды Действия пользователей Например, мониторинг сети, а также данные о кликах, положении мыши, прокручивании страниц или нажатии клавиш

I tried at least 10 annotation tools n picked this one. ONLY flaw is that font size could be editable n smaller, similar to the font size on websites. Changing font doesnt really minimize the size. writing long comments not possible.
