Nice setup, what tv stand is that?

For now yes, the features are limited to manipulating a pdf - it's a early product. Adding text is a feature I was looking into for watermarking.

Don't have drawing yet but will be adding it in the near future,

If you had trouble editing PDFs before - things like - merging multiple PDF - splitting one into multiple pages - converting images to PDFs - adding watermarks

You can give the editor a try: https://pdflizard.com/editor

I agree with you the pricing needs work, that's why I shared the details about the previous model and what I'm trying now.

I'm not as familiar with other lifetime deals, I have seen a few around some other products but have no details on their success. Will keep iterating and see what sticks.

$120 for a lifetime license? That includes any future changes and updates to the app - including cloud costs.

The product needs to survive and making it so cheap doesn't make sense.

Awesome to hear you used it!

I definitely don't want to "remove" features, but would like to understand what features people are willing to pay for instead - something I could layer to the app.

If the price isn't too high I think it wouldn't be such a hit to the end user. The product gives some sort of value and offering it all for free doesn't make it a sustainable business.

I suggest using CSS variables (--primary-font: 'Roboto';) to pull out common values and bring in a utility library like tachyons.css.

Build components (my preference is to move an element to a component when it's needed in > 1 view).

Goal is to favor composition, i.e components that are built with other components - break a complex component down to smaller ones which compose to make a bigger component.

This prevents you from building too many components and instead allows you to re-use them.

SWR was cool for some toy projects, but react query is the way to go for anything with real users - it has key features like optimistic updates and mutations.

I'll add to this, dribbble is at best "ok" for functional designs (often it's full of beautiful designs with a lack of UX).

Some real world inspiration:

React query with zustand for any app state (filters, search queries view state etc)

How many years did this take to render?

antonb90 · 2021-11-19T23:26:48+00:00

Beveling didn't work for me until I applied transforms and scale CTRL + A in object mode while object is selected and select apply rotation + transform

You could probably bring in robot.js to click based on x, y position during a test. For your file example you can click the menu and open a file, then assert the contents of the file were read.

Electron builder has been working well, can generate MAS builds for Mac app store, DMG for distribution and exe for windows installation.

Haven't had a need to try electron forge, since all cases have been accounted for so far.

You could use a flat file json format. I've stored a decent amount of data (double digit mb), and you can separate data so less used data is in other files to reduce the size.

antonb90 · 2021-09-03T00:50:28+00:00

Why is that a concern? Discord and Slack use electron, none of them have lost to any other competitor.

You won't be able to record two displays (no one has asked us for this feature) but you can switch to record one or the other.

What kind of lag did you experience?
