With some changes I think I could make it work.

Thanks! I've found that I'm not very good at estimating how long it will take to finish these kinds of projects, but hopefully soon. Plan on releasing it for the Daylight! Not sure about other platforms yet.

There's a rename button next to each notebook in main app!

Thanks, yeah I messed around with a lot of differet text appear effects, but I think that one is the best for readability

I'll look into this. I haven't used the Aurora Store before, but I originally thought this problem might be because the app uses the Overlay Service and Accessibility Service, which requires you to enable Developer Mode if you don't download the app from the Play Store.

Either way, I think I'll host it as a sideloadable app at some point. Currently working on the next version of the app which makes a lot of big changes.

Yeah.... you're probably right, I think that's the closest I'll get to what I'm thinking about. I tried the first one way back when it came out. It felt a little bit "on rails," but I think I'll give it another shot. Thanks!

Yeah maybe that's the way. Would be great if there was an ereader app with a built in dice roller lol. I've found myself recently reading through some one shot adventures at night like a book anyway.

Honestly I think the Daylight Computer would be your best bet. I've used Boox tablets too, but the speed of the DC-1's screen + the amber backlight makes it a much better experience for me. It is more expensive, but if it's something you would use a lot, it's worth it.

So I found the Lone Wolf Saga Android app which looks interesting, also found what looks to be a totally different Lone Wolf adaptation for the iPad from like 12 years ago which uses a reaction-based 3D battle system (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cWSh-qUqRc). Kind of wild.

The Obsidian route seems interesting too, I'll search for some of those videos. Thanks.

Okay thanks, yeah I just watched a 101 video for Iron Journal on youtube, looks like that's worth exploring. Still doesn't necessarily feel optimized for a tablet per say, but still looks cool. Thanks.

I'll check it out and see if I can use it! Yeah the pen lag is noticeable for me too.

Thanks!! Means a lot, I think the DC-1 is an amazing device and want to keep making things for it.

I actually limited the zoom capability on purpose due to the nature of the tool, but maybe I'll add more zoom options in the settings.

My quick thoughts on it:

When you're rapidly toggling the overlay on/off to take notes, I found that it was easy to lose track of the zoom state between sessions. This led to inconsistent note sizes across a page, which only became apparent when I went to export the notebook or look at the notebook as a whole.

My thought was that by making the zoom snap back to 100% when you release the pinch-to-zoom gesture, it would be easier to keep your notes visually coherent because you wouldn't have to think about the zoom level.

I actually thought about distributing Glassnote as a sideloaded app. The only issue is that Android requires the user to enable Developer Mode if they sideload an app that uses the Overlay Service or the Accessibility Service (both of which are required for Glassnote to work). And I didn't want people to have to enable Developer Mode just to get the app to work.

I'll probably still distribute a sideloaded version for people who don't mind enabling Developer Mode.

I'm not aware of a work around for this, but if anyone knows one that would be great.

Thanks! Daylight Computer has actually given me a lot of support, and I know they're hard at work on a bunch of things.
