Annotate websites

[nose_gnome]

It would be great if the ability to annotate websites.  This annotate feature should be toggleable and allow users to draw, highlight, erase what they've drawn on the website and save what they've drawn to a PDF or image.

This function would be useful for a verity of reason/people.  For example: this would allow (online) teachers to more easily work through examples on a website, or draw an example on a website for their students.  It would also be useful for students working out some problems on a website, as well as general users who want to make notes as they scroll or work something out on a website.

I know that you could simply take a screenshot of the website or save as a PDF and then edit the image/PDF, but that's not as convenient and with the image option it would be more difficult if you wanted to be able to scroll up and down the website while keeping your  annotations in place.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I think it would be good if it could be annotate on the video (like YouTube) and the annotated content could go inside the picture-in-picture.

@EeeeeThat's an interesting idea.  I didn't think about it working in picture-in-picture mode.

I should also mention that I would like it to have the functionality to allow you to scroll, and the drawing stays in the same place on the website.

Also, it should have more tools like drawing shapes such as circles, square and etc.  as well as straight lines
