Hi daveloyall, Thanks for the feedback. We are probably going to release a new version of this interface in a few weeks. We are planning to have the sidebar always visible (once you click in a comment) and then update the comments while the user navigates the paper, so that you don't have to click in every comment.

Are the only ways to sign up (in order to contribute) either facebook or google?

Maybe the current setup wouldn't be so bad if not for the animation, which slides (jumps?) the document to the right every time I open an annotation.
Addendum: the animation is slow.

I do this too and then I eventually leave the site in frustration. I can't even see which pages have annotations until I explicitly close the sidebar. :(

I left because it brought up some modal popup wanting me to sign up for some mailing list.
Annoy-ware isn't appreciated.

The mailing list is quite good, it's one paper every week, and nothing else.

white-flame wasn't talking about the frequency or content of the mailing list. The annoying bit is the modal popup. Modal popups are rude.
Every time I try to read an annotated paper on your site, I spent a full minute clicking the left margin and the paper, back and forth, trying to get a single view that shows all the annotations.
My monitor is huge and I like to read a whole document, top to bottom, by click-holding my scroll bar once and dragging (up and down) until I am done.
