Re:Show HN: I crafted a macOS app to draw on screen on Tuesday October 08, 2024 @02:00AM (#41774218)
Hi, everyone, I am here to introduce a brand new macOS app - Honeytone, which allow you to draw shapes, text on your screen directly. You may need it, if you want to showcase your macOS to any other one via screen video, or you want to demostrate things on your screen.

- Website: https://honeytone.pixelegg.me/

- Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqGuA0lPSEA

All feedbacks are welcome.

Just like any other compilers, I am currently working on the lexer/tokenizer first.

Just create a simple PDF example by using TextEdit's export function, and open the PDF with a plain text editor, you should be easy to figure out what's going on in PDF.

AFAIK, if you read through the first few chapters of the PDF spec, then you can easily understand later chapters. PDF in itself is a simple format.

I would expect other apps to use the core of PEP, Gene. Which will be easy to use as dragging and dropping Gene folder into other projects in Xcode. Gene is a stand alone lib, and is licensed in GPL2.

And google is smart as it as you said.

I did not expect googling "pep pdf editor" will show my site in the first place, because i just published the link of my site in a few days.

First time seeing a .security website in my life.

Seems a good feature for [0], and I am trying to not ignore this good feature, and still noted it down on my Apple Notes.

Although it seems to be a tough question as well. :p

Yep, naming is hard. And I like the name Wine most.

(Wine is not emulator)

Thank you for understanding. :)

Hi, i am the guy, and almost all view are custom views (native Cocoa/Objc), except that some of them (like in the About window) are WebView with HTML/CSS/Javascript.

Just noted down your requirement in my Apple Notes, I think I will take a look at it later while render and editing PDF forms.

These kinds of comments are what i am looking for, thank you.

Helllo, good question, and the answer is simple, I am more familiar with Objective-C and I get used to it.
Re:PEP – An open source PDF editor for Mac on Tuesday September 15, 2020 @07:46AM (#24480125)
Thank you for your recommendation, I think a road map is too early at this stage, but at some later point, i will at one.

And for the alternatives, i think this is a good idea.
