The direction Good Annotations is taking however is to be able to do all of that collaboratively with other users. The stuff you see today is hopefully the first step.
Device compatability is obviously a tough one because there are so many different devices out there creating alot of edge cases. At the moment we're following the data to get things off the ground. Chrome & Desktop. We will be looking at touch support in the near future
Actually yes
Can you give me an idea of what worked well with Debian? I hadn't even considered that as an option.
I feel you. What DID you end up using on Debian then?
Not perfect but so much more workable than what I saw here.
Also much more workable on linux than on windows... :|
Edit: I had written "sadly much more workable on linux than on windows" but honestly I don't think it's sad at all.
I literally just spent an hour trying out different apps on a windows pc to annotate a scientific paper (standard arxiv paper) with a stylus.
The results are devastating... Every app is so broken, hidpi isn't there, font rendering is crap, touch on windows is essentially unusable, many apps didn't even let me un-fullscreen without going back to desktop mode (this is a convertible).
I surmise that the "upload your pdf and do the editing in the cloud" market only exists because the user story on windows is utter shit. It is so much worse than on debian, running on the same hardware. This includes the touch screen and stylus handling, font rendering, UI, responsiveness, essentially everything that people always claim linux is so bad at.
I'm not comparing it to apples's golden cage of course, they may have amazing pdf editing but I'm not interested.
