A League of Legends-style ping wheel for the PDF reader: hold a key, press the page and drag to a ping, and its icon and sound appear. Repeat the ping in the same spot to save it as a coloured note annotation with a tag.
A playful way to flag spots on a page quickly. Saved pings sync like annotations and go into exported PDFs as ordinary sticky notes. A Zotero port of lolPing.
