andrewfchenjudgeLove it! Super simple, clear use case, quick to install and get working. Very clean overall. I imagine the utility of this to be quick screen sharing or web mockup editing. If that is so, then the ability to use a couple more tools, or in the very least to clear the screen without having to start a new window would be good. Other features could be different color pens.
elizabethchajudgeChrome extension worked effortlessly, but in its current state, the use case seems very narrow. Is the collection of screenshots meant to show what’s interesting to users in real-time, like Twitter? Could it be a game where each player builds on the previous screenshot to tell a larger story? Seems like there are lots of possibilities here!
therazorbladejudgeThis could be a really useful tool if you continue to work on it. Once the screen capture is created, it is pretty confusing. There is no drawing toolbar or really any other useful options for collaboration.

chrissharkeyjudgeI think the basic premise of this is good, I can imagine sending someone a link to a design and discussing it together via phone or Skype. However, the functionality of this demo is very limited – I would not use it in its current state.
mdeitersjudgeUnfortunately the chrome extension requested to much access “browser history and activity” along with “Web data”. The idea is interesting and useful.
The design could use a little more polish.

contestantExtension worked smoothly, would add more context around why/what to do with the photos after you take them. Good job!
Could be a nice extension. I had an issue saving my first screen shot (i put a ! in it…). The drawing was fun and showed up right away in the other tab like advertised. Design needs some work and maybe some options for circles, colors, lines, etc. Overall cool for time.
