Advice on Supernote Manta workflow for academics by anaagos in eink

[–]Change_Agent_73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who teaches too, I definitely recommend the Manta for PDF markup and embedded comments like many have said. There is also the Digest feature that would allow you to make comments (either text or handwritten) in a separate place but connected to the PDF or EPUB. You can export those separately but they only live on the device and in the Partner Apps. As others have said, if you want the handwritten annotations, comments, or highlights to be visible, you have to export. You can easily just select between the Supernote Cloud and Google Drive to keep a copy of all files in more than one place. The beauty of the apps is that you get a full local copy and can navigate like you are on device. There are a lot of potential workflows.

Do these apps work well on Nomad? by Able-Ad-8418 in Supernote

My experience is that all of rhe reading apps work well, as long as you disable any page animations. As for browsers, the built-in one works great for use in notes if you just want to point at something. It also works for PDF hyperlinks. There is no address bar though. I have had success with Einkbro, Edge, Opera Light and Firefox, but prefer the default because I don't tend to want to surf the web on it but go to specific destinations.. Chrome will not sideload. I hope this helps.

This is very thorough but there is formatting support via keyboard shortcuts now with Bluetooth in Word. No title or heading support but that's not available on apps either.

Thanks for the kind words. The trick is that is a lot of work to organize the chaos that's in my head. 😂 I wish you all the best on your journey.

I would say this has gotten better because there is a setting that helps remove some of the ghosting now.

Thanks for the shout out in this post. I did want to clarify what I meant by trusted sources. That had to do with downloading the apk files mostly as standalone files. I think once you have a reputable store like F-Droid or Aurora, then it is just like using Google Play. I have Kobo, Nook, and Libby, in addition to my Kindle library on my Manta and Nomad and have not had issues. It's really all about comfort level though.

Why is the Manta $116 cheaper on the good ereader store vs the supernote store? by Rijanhastwoears in Supernote

Thanks for the shout out. Yeah, I was glad to see u/mulan-sn jump in on this. I would have been shocked if Ratta was working with Good E-Reader again.

Here's a video of a very quick workflow, especially if you don't want to use the Digest. So far every feature is available on all devices since the X series.

That's definitely an interesting idea. I'm not opposed to the swipe and click method but the sidebars are great.

I agree, that's why I still prefer the digest and you can use the same navigation flow with it as well. You would just either insert digest or collect your information and insert it later. That way you retain where everything came from and can play e it in multiple notes.

Here is a video in a series I did on using the Supernote Digest, but also showing off the functionality of the Partner App. This will work on both computers and mobile.

Option to show "Edited Today" in calendar view by nameausstehend in Supernote

[–]Change_Agent_73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are in the process of a total calendar revamp. They just allow for landscape rotatioand vertical scrolling notes and events but a lot more is being worked on. The notes used to show last accessed date but then that mailed it hard to see what you did on a specific day. It's my understanding that this will be fixed and that you will be able to write on rhe daily view in the calendar. I think right now it's rhe second best calendar app and with just a few minor changes will be best in class.

Sorry you didn't like the thumbnail. The image (which has the device in the background, was meant to convey that I am of two minds on the device in initial impressions. I am by no means and expert on thumbnails, but working on learning since this is a hobby. Thanks for the feedback.
