  • Publication number: 20080082610
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates providing collaborative User Interface (UI) feedback. The system is designed to aid a programmer in structuring a UI to improve the user's experience. The system operates by receiving a command from a user while the user is using an application in a normal executing mode, wherein the command instructs the application to enter a UI annotation mode. In response to the command, the system enters the UI annotation mode. While in the UI annotation mode, the system receives annotations from the user, wherein the annotations are associated with elements of the UI. The system then sends the annotations to a centralized repository, which consolidates annotations from multiple users.
