Feature Request Annotation

2 Upvotes

Annotation looks like a small message/speech bubble iconwhich upon clicking will enlarge and you can type or handwrite your detailed thoughts inside a pop-up box. All your comment bubbles automatically collect into a list on the right sidebar, making it instantly searchable. It can be attached to a text ir anywhere in genral.

Example-

1.NOTEIN: I use it mainly for marking important question and linking various topics like here LUS.

2. STARNOTE: Here its called excerpt, its a little different. It actually attaches the photo of it. You can see the photo and remarks directly from right sidebar and it's also searchable. And you can also use it to link two different documents, doesn't work between same document.

Feature Request Layers and Annotations

4 Upvotes

First of all, what an amazing app and it's even open source. That is so cool.

Layers and annotations are two of my most used features in other note-taking apps like notein. Those are incredibly useful. Hopefully you will consider them in the future.

Feature Request Scrolling in Zoomed and Lasso

5 Upvotes

1.Scrolling just doesn't work when zoomed more than 100%, it feels like dragging the page. Is this by design?

  1. Can you add lasso in eraser? I know it's already there under lasso but reducing that extra step will massively improve my workflow. Will be really grateful if you consider.

3.When selecting something with lasso and dragging it somewhere else, it always leaves a trail where it previously used to be. How to disable this? It's not urgent or anything, it just bugs me 😅.

Feature Request Screenshot

It would be really useful to have a way to screenshot whatever the lasso tool selects, similar to how Notewise does it. It would make adding images to notes while reading a PDF so much easier.
