I know "everyone's a critic," but that page is more "swooshy" and chaotic than necessary. Made worse by the fact that I had to look at the page source to find out where the bookmarklet lived, which seemed to be pretty central to the success of new users.

It would also be super helpful if you gave examples of what kind of content you were looking for. There are quite a few things that I would, and have for my own purposes, bookmark because I refer to them often. However, I can't say whether some of them are "best practice source code" or not.

Is the audience folks who are learning to program and want to see examples? Or folks trying to configure projects and want to see good build files? Or defensive programming? Or good error messages?

Thanks so much for the valuable feedback. And you are right, the bookmarklet is not easy to find. It’s funny how we didn’t see that while developing. Only user feedback can do its magic:)

Great idea regarding the examples. By best practice source code we had in mind to bookmark something interesting and important to each users purpose.

In the end of the day users should be able to find all kinds of annotations. The configuring of projects reference you mentioned is the one I prefer the most.

It helps beginners and advanced coders. Let’s hope we build what users want. Again thank you so much for your feedback.

You will also likely want to do two things to help the tags from spinning out of control: auto-complete and aliasing. The tags used by stackoverflow would be an outstanding point of reference, as they do both of those things, but in addition their tags would be (for all intents) a great list to get things started off. I haven't checked to see if their tag dataset is open, but I also wouldn't imagine it would be terribly hard to get the list, even if they aren't open. I would just avoid taking the descriptions that accompany them, unless that's offered under a liberal license.

Auto-completion and aliasing make a lot of sense! Thanks for that. We will look at StackOverflow's list. I think their API allows to fetch tags... but not sure. I will post to this thread when I find out. Thanks again!!!
