[CloudApp Users] re: Ideas for an improved image view

[Kennon Ballou]

This is probably way too much/too specialized for an awesomely minimal
app like Cloud, but I really really wish there were some way to easily
use an uploaded cloud image and then be able to collaboratively draw
on top of it - my use case is if I'm sharing a (for example)
screenshot of a web page with another developer and want to circle
part of the image to draw attention to it. There are apps for drawing
stuff like this on an image (Skitch, for example) but you can't do it
in realtime and you have to keep sending the images back and forth.

Anyway I have a proof of concept for this using NodeJS here:

I'm guessing this is really something different than what CloudApp is
trying to do, but is there any way to integrate into Cloud? Is there a
way to add options to the Cloud menu via an api or something like
that? I don't really want to have to write my own infrastructure for
uploading and storing images, you guys already do that really well.

I like it! and it does work nicely. Bye bye flash. Sadly for cloud is
not a feature we would add. We want it simple: from functionality to
user interaction and workflow. Of course collaborative/social
integration could be a great thing, but not in that way. Thanks for
the link Kennon
