You can make it into a nice product. Just make the state save-able (including comments) and share-able by a link. Would be a good tool for designers & their customers to quickly leave some comments.

Cool site, nice one. There's potential to save a lot of time when going back and forth between cropping tools. One of my usual workflows is reading big PDFs and I want to pick out the parts that are relevant to me. I could use a highlighter, but that wouldn't filter out the rest of the document, so I typically use a screenshot tool to grab specific areas and save them as pictures. But it can only make one screenshot at a time, which is a lot of overhead.
It would be cool to enhance this site so that it takes a PDF with multiple pages and allow you to do the same for that. But that's probably a lot of work compared to uploading a single picture file!
All the tools allow to "crop" an image, but not really extract all regions.
Ended up making PhotoCutter[1]. It is totally useless for everyone except a few.
