I want a widget or bookmarklet that will allow me to draw shapes on a webpage and take text notes (saved to localStorage and or remotely).

Know of anything?

I recommend you start with SVG for your shapes, then you can insert text dynamically inside the SVG. Save the shape positions and text in your local storage. -- Cole

In particular I'm looking for an existing solution.

Sorry about that. I would be very surprised if there was a generic solution out there, as dynamic SVGs are pretty advanced. I did some searching, and didn't find anything off the shelf. If I see something, I'll post it.

If there's nothing out there (likely). Do you have someone who can make an SVG for you? If so, ask for an annotation bubble, with whatever text you feel you'll need. The rest is javascript. This would be actual work, I know, but hey. Good luck.
