How do I identify and undo Ubiquity-altered content on a page?

Ah, of course there is. Perhaps reading a bit further would help.

I would like to see a command to highlight or otherwise identify annotations.

It does seem to just reload it, as Tom mentions, being able to highlight changed pieces would be nice, and, really, popping f5 is quicker than ctrl-space "rem" if we're just going to be reloading the page anyhow.

Remove-annotations could be awesome, especially if there was a "remove annotation" singular for that one seminal line of the article you meant to email to a friend, but instead deleted, but don't want to have to re-calculate all of the math contained therein (I don't know what kind of articles you read!)

or, like "redact last"

I am just learning very basic programming. I hate suggesting things and not being able to help actually build them, especially on a project this cool. Hopefully I will learn fast!

Ideally, I think, each Ubiquity edit should be marked in some way, and should be individually undoable (regardless of the order the edits were made in). A "classic" undo function—or a universal ditto—would be much less useful than, for instance, a tiny red cross in the corner of each edit that would allow the user to delete that edit individually.

Naturally, this type of solution would mar the looks of the page somewhat, but I don't think the point is to create edited pages that look completely unedited, but rather to provide a useful way to garner and highlight information on a page.

Of course, I'm just mouthing off since, like Schuyler, I am unable to actually contribute to creating the changes I'd love to see :-( Thank you for a very promising app that It'll be exciting to follow in the future.

I am really excited by the possibilities of annotating pages; I think the interface could be as simple as commands to: show-my-pages (show all the pages I've annotated), show-annotations (highlight all on page), clear-these (clear an annotation I've selected a part of) and clear-all. But what I *really* want is share-annotated, where a copy of the page I've annotated is sent to a friend or posted to a service. I realize there are a lot of questionable implications of that, but short-term it seems doable to construct an HTML email attachment that is clearly labeled "annotated by" and has remote links for images?

Oh!

Being able to share your annotations would be excellent - on a smaller scale, having ubiquity actually build a cache of annotations you have made that it can re-apply as you re-visit those sites (and the ability to easily dump that information as well) would be excellent.

Also - if the person you are contacting also has Ubiquity, you can bring the sharing annotated with them a step further and allow for a sort of "track changes" for websites. User A alters it one way, sends it along to Ubiquity user B, who's client will simply reproduce the changes that A's did. B can then continue to alter the page and "return annotated."

I would use a feature like that constantly for some web design, and - in particular, website copy. Getting copy re-written and approved is a miserable process at the moment which has to go through several hands and never comes out quite right in the end. With everyone seeing each others annotations ON the designed page and being able to revert them / add to them, things would move so much faster.

I mean - I grasp that any part of this is likely a huge undertaking in and of itself, but I'm just getting very excited about the possibilities. Sorry to ramble!

okay, I totally blogged about this, now I better go lie down before I start hyperventilating...
