Thanks for your feedback.

>The playback seemed to show the current version of the target pages

The way recording and playback happens, only URL of visited pages is recorded, so you can understand the reason why it was showing latest pages.

> the scrolling and cursor playback weren't aligned

I think it should work. If you mean playback did not show it correctly, then I will look into it.

> What sort of uses are you hoping to enable?

I plan on letting users record their browsing session as a demo or educational purpose. I haven't finalized how to best use it. What would you use it for?

There is no talent 16 years ago

But what if you don't have talent to know how to be passionate about something? :)

Right amount of talent in right environment drives passion that further hones the talent. And the cycle continues.Somewhere down the line you have so much passion that right environment doesn't matter.

Although there are many apps that let you keep list of things (workflowy, thingist, notational velocity for MAC) it lets you access lists right from search box.

With special syntax (<list name>.<item to add>) you can add items to existing list. Or access existing lists with <list name>. This <list name><dot><item> syntax is optional after first use.

Using it as default search engine is privacy safe and doesn't increase search latency.

Hope you like it. Please leave your feedback.

Drop area need to be full window. At present it is just one rectangle.

I dropped 2 files and figured it out for third file.

Edit: Also it not immediately obvious that clicking on file copies URL pointing to that file.

"I'll probably be voted down for this but .."

Best way to polarize people. When you say that "I might get down-voted", people agreeing with you are forced to up-vote.

Edit : Wording

These kind of weekend projects make me feel insignificant. But then I see that author is on Chrome UI team so he is familiar with technology required (App Engine, Chrome HTML5).

Without that context it is just magic(and even then idea and implementation is great). But I think there must be something many of us can do in a weekend that will look like magic. But it was possible because of months/years of experience.
