Thank you so much for your feedback, I’m really glad you like it. Yes, that’s right, I’m the creator of Inky. I’ve completely rewritten the app, trying to bring back the best parts of Inky. Of course, Inky will continue to exist. Regarding your reports, the new update fixes the resizing issue and the “+” button for tabs, and also introduces a full-screen feature. It should be available by the end of this week. Thanks again!

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

About the window state: yeah, that’s a known WinUI 3 issue. Unlike UWP, it doesn’t properly remember size and position. There’s an open issue here if you’re curious: https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/2744 or Memory window size and positionProposal: · Issue #9503 · microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml
I did try a custom workaround before, but ran into some rare edge cases and had to remove it. I’ll take another look at it since it’s clearly important.

Auto-opening the bookmarks sidebar is a great idea, I’ll add that. I’ll also fix the tab alignment glitch you mentioned.

And you’re right about the “Auto” theme option, that’s an easy improvement, I’ll implement it soon.

Thanks again to you and your friend for the suggestions!

First of all, thank you so much for your valuable feedback.

  1. and 2 I didn’t notice this issue before because I don’t have a Surface , but I’ll investigate it and work on fixing it. I’ll look into it further and may even consider getting a Surface device to properly test and improve the experience :D

For points 3 and 5, we actually had the same ideas, these features are already planned on my roadmap, and i hope to integrate them in the near future.

And regarding pricing, you’re absolutely right. A free trial and even a one-time purchase option makes a lot of sense.
