notekit VS MicroTeX

You can use Notekit

I use NoteKit[0], one of the nicest things about it is that a can paste an image and draw on it, simple yet useful. Does "Notes" offer the same functionality? And what about spell check?

Anyway, great project, I'll give it a try! :)

The closest thing I found was https://github.com/blackhole89/notekit/

So, other than moving around your exported SVGs & PDFs, I am not sure; Look at what u/up_o said on this cross-post on r/Ubuntu. He suggested Notekit as a way to annotate with Mardown.

Well, it's not exactly unsustainable - the Github CI continues producing those builds without me having to do anything for it (it in fact didn't break even once in the past year, compared to several breakages on the "backwards-compatible" Ubuntu 18.04 deb which happened whenever Github changed something about the package bundle available to that image). If someone reports a bug on Windows, I will look into it, and/or spend some time walking them through a workaround (since I do in fact have access to Windows setups). As I see it, in the most natural sense of support, I do have support for Windows, even though it is what I guess you would call Tier 2 support.

To nitpick a little, I also didn't say I don't think that those who care about licensing issues would use [the Windows build]; rather, I think that those who don't care about licensing issues and are on Windows would not use it, because there is a Windows-only product that is closed-source which I am unlikely to be able to compete with on that ground.

I'm not really advertising Mac support beyond having some files merged from people who did get it to work (https://github.com/blackhole89/notekit/blob/master/screensho...).

Slightly late response, but I'm working on one, with a particular focus on tablet input: notekit. There isn't quite feature parity with Typora since using native instead of HTML-based rendering makes things like tables hard and many aspects of it are still work in progress in general, but several people (including myself) do already use it on a daily basis.

Notekit resembles OneNote the most imo, but it's still unfinished

If you want a PDF that can be generated on the fly, I would recommend using LaTeX, but then it wouldn't necessarily be portable by default. You'd have to figure out how to bundle the basic requirements from LaTeX for the generation of the PDF document into your application. You could also probably use LaTeX with QT by using this C++ library https://github.com/NanoMichael/MicroTeX. There is a reason GUI applications are not as plentiful as console applications and also why most GUI versions of solid console apps are not up to date or buggy. It's not an easy thing to achieve, but if you have the patience for it, I say go for it!

cLaTeXMath is quite fast. But it can only do a fraction of what LaTeX can do and is more focused on math equations.
