handwriting app that works on a lot of platforms including Linux which cannot be said about most handwritten note-taking applications
To be fair, we have it quite good in this regard between Xournalpp and Rnote. Certainly areas where we only have worse options.
That's true, although this one is truly incredible when it comes to editing handwriting.
Certainly lacking a bit in other aspects though (and not totally bug free)
I don't know about rnote but Xournalpp was very underwhelming when it came to actual handwriting features back when I tried it.
What do you mean by handwriting features? I've played around with Write a bit and it has some cool features (I really like the ability to make a series of stokes a link) but I wouldn't call them handwriting features.
The most important features when handwriting IMHO are selection tools and then being able to manipulate the selected strokes.
Write implements a multitude of selection tools such as lasso which most tools have but much more useful to me were ruled selection which selects based on lines on a ruled paper and path selection which selects every stroke you touch with your selection stroke.
You can then move the selected strokes in a ruled manner, so for example I'd select a whole line of strokes and move them down a few lines. This is incredibly useful and brings many of the freedoms we enjoy in editing text on a computer to handwriting.
Re-flowing using stroke divisors is an amazing feature in theory but I've never been able to make it work reliably enough for my purposes, so I personally disabled that particular feature.
The undo/redo dial is also pretty neat.
Once you actually try to take real notes or solve some mathematical problems, you'll really come to appreciate such features and will dread using any note taking application supposedly made for handwritten notes that does not implement such features.
Nice one more libre software protected!
I've used it for uni on a Linux tablet/convertible and it worked really quite well and has some nice convenient features for note-taking.
What tablet did you use?
It was an old Fujitsu Q755, not something I'd recommend you buy.
Had a wacom tablet built into the touch screen though which is the only thing I'd watch out for.
Looks pretty cool!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
