I love this. It's so easy to use and works great on a trackpad. I'm going to start using it in my meetings.

Nice job!

EDIT: After playing with it for a bit, I have some feedback :)

- Sometimes, I accidentally press Z instead of shift, or vice versa. I would love to have undo! Backspace or delete hotkey would be perfect.

- For selecting colors, it would be great to just be able to press 1,2,3,4 (rather than cycling through).

- I often forget what color I have selected. Perhaps the cursor could be colored to indicate this?

- When typing text, my first instinct was to use the arrow keys to move the cursor around, but this doesn't work. Also, it's hard to select where the cursor should go to edit.

- The shift and Z hotkeys are great. But I don't quite understand selecting the tools. If I can just hold down Z to erase, why would I ever select the eraser tool? It seems like the most efficient approach is to only ever have the text tool selected, so that at any time I can click to create text, but otherwise I use Z/shift to draw.

> I would love to have undo!

not sure if they added this literally in the last 18 hours, but the usual CMD+Z undo shortcut seems to work for me.
