Ha ! There is an email notification every time someone comments, and no way to unsubscribe. I just got 6 emails and one minute, and Chrome re-focusing the tab automatically because gn commented <script>alert('Moo!');</script>
Redirection to porn? script alerts? No unsubscribe button? I suppose the OP doesn't have the slightest clue of web app security. Wouldn't use. Who knows where your email addresses are now.
People writing their first web app rarely do. Though in this case most of these things are covered by Rails' "Secure by Default" approach.
Also, comments like these are what turn newbies away from programming. It's really hard to start out, encouragement and a point in the right direction is what's needed.
Edit: Ahhh actually, you probably didn't realise that OP was a newbie because mods changed the title of the post. That's unfortunate. Carry on.
It sounds cool, but not being a douchebag doesn't automatically put food on the table. I'd rather for this to say that this is a hobby project or that it's a part of fremium service.
Nice work and looks cool. But I don't like the "bullshit" and "douchebag" words. IMHO it looks unprofessional and a little bit immature to use those kind of words (if you're trying to look/be professional).
Feedback for this feedback app: it does not like uploads. Upload fails with message 'Hello. We haven't been formally introduced yet but I'm Sir Red Pen. I'm sorry to say I've let you down. This upload has failed. I'm deeply sorry. This usually doesn't happen. I swear. I will reload the page for you and I ask you try again. I will get it right this time.'
Super slick. Great application! Are you planning on monetizing it? You could do it 'per project' or by # of uploads.
Definitely don't go crazy by adding features, but it'd be cool to add versioning (so people could compare), and comment off to the side or below, so that people could provide holistic comments.
Besides the obvious issues with Javascript injection, I really love the design. I think you did a really good job here, the interface is simple and effective and this is definitely one of the nicely designed feedback apps I've seen (although I haven't seen too many, it's still a compliment). It's sad that people resorted to spamming the public link you posted with porn and annoying Javascript alert boxes. I hope you get the issues solved soon.
I have a recommendation however for the introduction text on the homepage, you've got orange text on an orange background which is impossible to read. I made a couple of little Developer Tool modifications and found the below CSS to make it more readable.
One suggestion is that it would be great if I can copy and paste like on Trello. This would mean that I wont have to keep saving files locally first and then drop those files to your site.
I find Workflowy aesthetically clunky. This is all the usability goodness of Workflowy and great visual design. One of the best things I've seen on the web in awhile. Really impressed.
One thing I noticed is that in the feedback balloon screenshot, there seems to be a dot overlapping on top of the feedback balloon. Also, personally, I always like having a "close" or "x" button on these types of balloons, instead of the balloons disappearing when I move my cursor away.
I'm guessing that the dot colors have some meaning? Having a color legend might help (if one doesn't exist already... hard to tell from screenshots and my own testing didn't show any legend.)
Front page looks great, but... "Hello. We haven't been formally introduced yet but I'm Sir Red Pen. I'm sorry to say I've let you down. This upload has failed. I'm deeply sorry. This usually doesn't happen. I swear. I will reload the page for you and I ask you try again. I will get it right this time."
I noticed a bug; I went to masonhensley's sample project, added a comment (on the engine of his car), and then I noticed that any other comments showing up in realtime were labelled "Scott", in addition to some of the ones that had previously been "Mason". Refreshing fixed the issue.
Mattrobs, this is absolutely beautiful. I agree that the language is a little too informal (see the confusion on "Arreevaderchi" for example), but very useable.
Once there's a bit more security polish, I'd be happy to use this in production with clients, at least for quick-and-dirty comments!
Simple, pretty, to the point and does what it says on the tin.
Unfortunately I can't seem to copy the link at the top of the design. Instead of making it a readonly input, make it a link or tell them to copy the URL from their browser. Using Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m on Win8
Potential security/privacy issue though: I can retrieve anyone's submission(s) with some simple cookie manipulation. I suppose this is a side-effect of the "no logging in" method, but it might be nice to allow people to delete their posts.
Haha, cool. There's another similar issue (which your team may already be aware of) that I'd be happy to point out less-publicly if you want to send me an email. Anyway, nice project!
There seems to be a mixup though; the button on the comment page says 'Arreeverderchi', which I believe is spanish or italian, but I'm not sure what it means.
Pretty cool. Just to try it out I uploaded a random picture from my desktop which happened to be somewhat large so navigating was somewhat awkward. It would be nice if you could zoom in/out.
Built one too, but with Meteor. I actually create a login for you automatically with auto-generated username and you can rename your username if you care. Also can copy paste images, not just drag drop
Comments at the right edge of the screen are unreadable as the balloon is partly outside the window. Would be nice if they would pop up to the left, in that case.
I'd love to see some sort of retention limit, and the functionality to manually remove an uploaded design. An export function of all comments and a special stylesheet for printing (i.e., showing all comments below the picture) would make it perfect!

I have regrets. Careful, someone redirected the page to porn.
Here is a pre-porn screenshot of everyone's dots- http://awesomescreenshot.com/09f19vrpf5

<edit-2> Here is what the feedback balloons look like (forgive the z-value issue of the dot over the ballon, that's my fault):
