       | inclusion of the "type to reply" feature quite terrible turn off,
       | because it's abused by other users immediately. Further, these
       | cursors are really distracting--ideally they'd be less intrusive
       | and more ambient in nature, at least by default.

       | Windows. Not sure if it works in Safari or not since I don't have
       | my macbook handy right now.

       | okay for something special like an /r/place successor, but I sure
       | hope this doesn't become the norm for web pages in general.

       | This is not the same but reminds me that every piece of writing
       | deserves annotations and discussion. I don't care much for the
       | "live" part. I wish there was some social network built around
       | that idea, kinda like reddit and twitter, but with in-place
       | comments and side annotations.

       | That's so cool! Is there a way to talk on mobile? Maybe we could
       | add a talk button in the bottom right. I might add this to my
       | website!

       | The keys used mean that it doesn't work properly for me on
       | Firefox, hitting / opens a search box (in the browser) that I
       | have to close and the Return key to send a message doesn't work
       | at all.

       | I also don't see any other cursors though that may just be that
       | no-one else is on the site.
