Leaflet.pub – a web app for creating and sharing rich documents
Hi HN! For the last 8 months we've been working on leaflet.pub, a web app for making delightful documents.

Leaflet.pub is a web app for creating and sharing documents that balances simplicity with functionality. Users can instantly create documents without signing up, share them via read or edit links, and optionally sign in to sync across devices.

Review my project: MarkUp, a tool to draw on any webpage.2010 · markup.io · ▲90Here's the website: http://markup.io/ We created MarkUp at Medium to help make the QA process better for sites we're working on. Grab the MarkUp bookmarklet, go to some page in your browser, then click it to draw on the page. Publish to make a link you can share. We've tried similar tools like BounceApp, Notable, and Skitch.
