Rnote 0.12 Released with Improved Linux Note-Taking Features

A major new release of Rnote, an open-source app for taking handwritten notes, sketching out ideas and annotating documents and pictures, is out. Rnote 0.12 brings several new features, new customisation and configuration options, user experience buffs, bug fixes, and other lower-level tune-ups. For those unfamiliar with it, Rnote is a digital note-taking app built using GTK4 and Rust. It’s primarily intended to be used with stylus input (so includes pen pressure, stroke styles, button actions, etc) but supports typed text entry, shapes, importing images, etc too. Rnote offers a range of document layouts, from fixed pages to infinite canvases,

Any #rnote users here?

Why is so much more frustrating to write with a graphics tablet on a mac when compared to Linux?

On Mac, I have to zoom it a lot and write large letters. Don't need to do the same on Linux.

Post legal, com dicas de como utilizar aquelas tablets de desenho no Linux, usando drivers do Linux Wacom Project e o app RNote.

Também gosto muito de ficar rabiscando, principalmente durante resolução de questões, até comprei uma #LousaMagica de 16 polegadas.

Mas com tablet, deve ser bem prático, usando o app supracitado e também o recurso do #Flameshot de rabiscar a própria tela de trabalho ou até mesmo no plugin do #Excalidraw do #Obsidian, uma "bruxaria" que consegue salvar imagens em formato #markdown

Depois, vou ver se pego uma emprestada com um amigo ilustrador para fazer testes.

Why is Apple's #Freeform app so good on #iPad? What is the equivalent for #Android? #Linux (on 2-in-1 or tablet)?

#RNote on Linux? I just sold my 2-in-1 so can't test RNote right now to compare. But interested in others' opinions.

Anything else out there that's as clean as Freeform? I just reach for it anytime I'm laying anything out, like designing a room or story boarding or making a design board.

If you have a graphics tablet, you must absolutely check out Rnote!

I've been using it for a few weeks on Linux and Mac (for work) and I've been enjoying using it.

Earlier, I used to use a notebook, but with a graphics tablet there's no need to hunch over a desk to write on paper. That used to cause me lower back pain. I can now lean back in my chair, tilt the tablet and write easily.

I just moved from #XournalPlusPlus to #rnote as it is finally available on #postmarketos and #alpine (#aports).
Gotta love the infinite canvas and the ability to import multiple PDF files.

‘Rnote’ is an Impressive Freehand Note Taking App Built in Rust & GTK4

Rnote is a seriously impressive freehand note taking app written in Rust and GTK4. I came across it on Flathub this week and, within seconds of installing it, I knew I had to give it a bit of a spotlight. If you’ve got a laptop with a stylus or touch-enabled screen and you use GNOME Shell you have to try it out. Rnote is billed by its developer as a “simple note taking application written in Rust and GTK4”. I spent about 20 minutes playing around with it (albeit with a mouse as primary input) and it’s really quite polished
