Put 0 in the "Pay what you want" box and click the PayPal button to try it out.

TekaPoint is at version 2 however, I only just got the site to a point I am happy with. The site is 100% static and hosted on an old PC.

I've had the odd issue running it on Linux which does not have the Qt Framework installed on it.

Any chance to see it open source for linux? Maybe some developers will join and make it really amazing. You still can earn some money with Windows version.

Hi Murple,

The Windows and Linux versions are the same code base. I originally had it as open source but decided not to keep it open.

I use ZoomIt (windows) for some time. This is better.

Very good documentation

it would be an added bonus and make it stand out if would be able to do lines/shapes like rough.js

That's a great suggestion @cosmaioan. I'm working on a Version 3 which will support SVG files. I might look in to adding this style of line. Thanks.

This project looks great! I have actually been looking for something like this for the past few months.

Is there a tbd release date for Mac? I've been tempted to even try Wine for Mac to make it work since it sounds so useful.

Thanks frantzme. I replied to your email however, for anyone else reading this, I don't have a Mac. That is a little of a handbrake.

If this had collaboration (many people annotating on the same screen) I’d buy it in a whim. Lots of great videoconferencing software but with no way to point a cursor on the presenter’s screen.

Hi Omneity,

Isn't that just "Take Control"? Most video conferencing software packages have that feature. Zoom has an annotation feature.

I have some plans for it but none of them involve networking.
