Like The Idea And the Fact That it's FLOSS and Cross Platform.
It still has a lot of shortcomings. The most important thing is that it does not place the PDF documents I import on the page properly. Synchronization should be improved. For example, connections to Google Drive etc. can be made. Features such as page resizing and file importing are insufficient.
Hello, I'm the developer. Feel free to create an issue on GitHub/write me on mastodon/write an email/come to the discord/matrix server with your improvements, and we can see how I can improve the app. Google Drive is a bit tricky since it isn't an open protocol. Page resizing works by using the area feature (see documentation) and butterfly supports images, SVGs and PDF, what do you mean? I will look forward to improving the app :)
I like the idea and simplicity of the app. It is free as Libre and opensource. Fast and full functioning. All of my check list is marked.
