  • Note taking on Leaf 2
    1 project | /r/Onyx_Boox | 26 Mar 2023
    I have been trying to (maybe foolishly) find a note taking app that works on the leaf 2. I bought a basic stylus and tried writing on this open source app called PngNote (https://github.com/karino2/PngNote) but it does not work very well. The experience is very laggy and buggy. I just want tue writing experience advertised like the note air of pro models.

    It's accessible, the documentation just sucks. PNGNote (https://github.com/karino2/PngNote) can be a good reference.
  • 'Tools for Boox' application 1.5.14 release

    The other Boox SDK app I know of is PNGNote, which I have used as a reference before.

    Feel free to join - I find there to be no good community for this so far (there was one on Discord, but the owner nuked it).

    > There seems to be private APIs to do great software

    Boox has an SDK that is a little bit documented here: https://github.com/onyx-intl/OnyxAndroidDemo

    It's a bit hard to understand what component to use for what, if my motivation allows and you're interested I can look for my notes about it. I've personally used the third-party PNGNote as a nice reference: https://github.com/karino2/PngNote

    I think more than half of the user prefer pdf. I'm just minority for this preference. As you know, pdf+vector note app is totally different app. But I think it also possible to create pdf based note taking app by forking some open-sourced such app (once I used Quill and it is open source, forking like this app and support raw rendering might be good candidate).

What are some alternatives?
