Hi, glad you like it!
Yes, an API is coming very soon. And hopefully soon after that, some open-source editor integrations based on that API. Do you have an editor/IDE you prefer?
Integrated code-analysis would be cool, but it gets into a messy, language specific area that I'd like to avoid for the time being (these tools can be...flaky...when run at at scale, on lots of strange repos). But I'd like to find a solution -- either, again, via API, or possibly by some sort of jenkins-like service that allows you to run any particular tool you want, and attach the output to the code as annotations. I'd like Omniref to really be a "universal reference" for your code -- not just code review comments, but any sort of information that is relevant to lines of code.
Regarding the tour bug: could you send me an email ([email protected]) with a screenshot of what you saw before/after clicking the annotation button? It might be a client-specific bug.
