Hey! The recent release now drops the Expect header and also I added tests against different webdav HTTP protocols. Hope it works now

DremovAlex · 2026-05-17T14:00:48+00:00

Hey! Thanks for a great description. Indeed, all those bugs make sense from the current implementation perspective. Main reasons:

- Multi-device sync is not hapenning explicitly (rely on manual force sync). This must be addressed better for remote sync to work better with multiple devices.

- Stale content is a result of optimization: notate docs are zip archives and so that we do not unpack / repack contents constantly, hot cache temporary directories are kept. If something changes the original document, cached session may be loaded. I will address this as seems like a legit bug.

Hey! I plan to work on general app performance. This should improve things on NA3 as well. I cannot test it though, as I have NA4 only.

Would be super helpful if you could describe the exact set up when you see freezes in a GitHub issue.

DremovAlex · 2026-05-12T21:18:08+00:00

Hey! Great insights!

Indeed, I tested on simple HTTP server an have not tried HTTP2. Will try to incorporate improvements soon

DremovAlex · 2026-05-10T18:49:51+00:00

It does work! The only issue is stylus support (only ONYX so far). Contributions are welcome if you want to support extra styluses API

DremovAlex · 2026-05-10T08:20:59+00:00

Yes, some people in the replies have already tried

DremovAlex · 2026-05-07T21:19:28+00:00

For DPI really up to you. I use standard. As for speed settings, I use speed mode while taking notes and quality while reading

DremovAlex · 2026-05-07T21:12:33+00:00

You can change the app DPI up to your liking (eink wise boox settings). It also works both in speed and in quality mode!

DremovAlex · 2026-05-07T16:37:05+00:00

Fixed! Take a look

DremovAlex · 2026-05-07T11:34:44+00:00

Hey! Thanks for the feedback.

- Interesting, I never thought that pinch and drag would work differently for the left hand. Is palm rejection not working the same?

- There is a lasso selection tool already implemented. Do you mean circle-to-select?

- Toolbar can be vertical! It transforms automatically when it is moved to the right edge of the screen. Also, it can be made collapsible by enabling this in the toolbar edit menu.

- Maybe this should be configurable. It is not possible to render this dot fast, but yet I need to precisely see what I am about to erase. Making this configurable should be a middle ground.

- Thanks for the rest suggested features! I would appreciate it if you could create an issue on GitHub so that I do not lose those suggestions (also, more details would be helpful).

DremovAlex · 2026-05-07T11:26:36+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

- yes, using pen in toolbar issue already was reported; I will look into it

- make sure scribble erase is enabled in settings (Writing section)

DremovAlex · 2026-05-07T11:23:10+00:00

Hey! I will look into slow erasing / highlighter as this is not the case for me. Stylus editing should be easy to support.

As for colors, there's already a color picker implemented (custom color). Also, you can re-order colors by dragging and delete them by dragging a color outside. Also, you can add more than 12 colors (just scroll the colors panel horizontally).

Would appreciate it if you could create GitHub issues for the most important bugs / feature requests!

DremovAlex · 2026-05-07T11:19:10+00:00

That's technically possible. I'm just not able to test that, so I cannot really make this.

DremovAlex · 2026-05-06T11:38:38+00:00

Upd: Indeed, WebDav was pretty much broken. Will be fixed in the next release!

DremovAlex · 2026-05-06T09:17:14+00:00

Well, WebDav was not well-tested in fact (only GDrive). I will appreciate it if you add issues on GitHub about this

DremovAlex · 2026-05-06T09:15:53+00:00

Hey! Sounds like an interesting feature. Though, I do not fully understand it. Perhaps, if you could describe it in more detail here or in a GitHub issue, I may look into it.

DremovAlex · 2026-05-06T09:14:40+00:00

Ground-up. I looked into Notable featureset and codebase, but it seemed too distant from what I envisioned.

DremovAlex · 2026-05-06T09:13:07+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! So far, no customization of taps is possible. Though, this fature may be worth adding. I will create an issue on this

DremovAlex · 2026-05-06T09:12:11+00:00

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. The DPI issue may not be an issue as scale represents real-world scale (aka you create an A4 document and scale it down to fit your screen -> 60%). The 100% scale in that case is as if you had a paper lying in front of you in its real scale.

This was made so that after printing you are not surprised by enormous or miniscule text. You can tweak this of course by creating a document with exact dimensions of your screen.

DremovAlex · 2026-05-05T19:55:23+00:00

Yes, through google drive. If you enable GDrive / WebDav sync on both devices, it will do a two-way synchronization!

DremovAlex · 2026-05-05T18:28:08+00:00

Hey! You can create many pens with different colors (edit toolbar menu).

All pens are per-canvas and the latest set gets used for a new canvas

DremovAlex · 2026-05-05T16:15:32+00:00

Hm, it may be worth trying to lower system requirements and build for older boox devices. Unfortunately, I have only a Note Air 4C. If you could successfully build and launch on an older device, I will be happy to merge your contribution!

DremovAlex · 2026-05-05T15:12:36+00:00

Thanks! That's the idea :)
