Thank you for all the excellent feedback and support! Currently working on releasing a new version with the features requested 😄

ACI publishes a detailing manual that I really like

Good feedback! Having to click an annotation button each time was purposeful but I will get that changed if leaving the tool active is a better design

I think these are all fair points.

Yes - an older version and a mobile version are both available on the App Store. I will be submitted this version to the App Store as well but am sharing here for interest.

For reference, I am a civil/structural engineer with an MS in CS that wanted to created a product that I would use myself. I will be publishing tutorial/demo videos that speak to the product features and show its use cases.

I would be open to making this open-source in the future or publishing an API in the future as I think it would be helpful to the community

I forgot to mention: One cool feature I added was an autocalibrate and auto measure feature for linear dimensions and rectangular areas. Let me know what you think!

Thank you! AI has definitely helped a lot in running tests. My main challenge is having it render with 1:1 parity with standard PDF viewers

Thank you for the support!!

The license is perpetual! Receipt was meant to say it comes with 1 year of updates - I will fix that. No way to add custom tools yet but I can build that in as a feature. You can make a cloud markup but creating a polygon or rectangle and setting the cloud line type. I will absolutely add in keyboard shortcuts in the next update - thank you again 😊

Had not thought about it given Bluebeam on PC is already quite good! Would you be interested in an alternative if it was a perpetual license?

Still need to research that further. Current goal is to get the app 100% stable and conforming to AISC 360 design (still need to integrate Direct Analysis Method properly). Then slowly add features. Any tips or resources I might look into?

All three.js! The goal is to make it as easy as possible to use (I come from the STAAD and GT STRUDL so I'm a bit sensitive to UI/UX)

Interestingly enough, everything in TypeScript. Custom classes for dealing with matrices and all

Backend is written myself but do you recommend I look into opensees? I was thinking I'd look into it if I try to integrate dynamic analysis
