One-liner
A minimalist app for annotating and drawing on images with a focus on quick markup and handwriting input.
Strengths
- Top-50 ranking for 'annotate' indicates strong keyword relevance and discoverability

- Handwriting recognition is accurate and responsive, making it ideal for digital sticky notes

- Supports layer-based annotations, allowing users to organize thoughts without clutter
Weaknesses
- Multiple users complain about missing export options (e.g., no PDF or PNG export)

- Limited brush customization; lacks pressure sensitivity or opacity controls
Opportunities
