How should the user interface for defining the timestamp be like?

Okular annotations (except text markup) are bound to your pixel grid. If you
use a zoom like 75% or 200%, which is often the case in Okular, the recipient
of your review can easily calculate your screen size and resolution by just
looking at the coordinates of some (or one) annotations. -> How should the user
interface for defining an emulated screen resolution be like?

Freehand annotations store the order (and to some extent the speed) in which
strokes were made. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphology (article has
multiple issues ;) ). -> How should the user interface for obfuscating stroke
order and speed be like?

The same applies to your typography in popup notes.

The words you use in popup annotations, or the number of spelling mistakes you
spot, or other features of your review, may depend on your mood and
environment. -> How should the user interface for rephrasing your review be
like?

These examples may seem a bit ridiculous. But sorry: I don’t think we should
care about protecting the timestamp.

I removed “author” from the summary line. Okular allows to change the name,
there is nothing more to do.
