They are open source, not closed source, that's the main reason I said "reinventing the wheel".
xournal++ supports typing text, drawing with stroke recognition, supports touch displays, stylus, mouse, equations and also, pdf files can be used as background.
I repeat: When a better "approach" is available, why go for an inferior approach. I am comparing the ways things are being done, not just comparing final products.
- vidarh 4y agoThe very first line of the linked article gets at why xournal++ is not suitable for the author of this: > I like plain text. xournal++ uses XML. While I'm not likely to use this editor much, the use of plain text for all but the illustrations makes me at least curious. Xournal++ is totally uninteresting to me - if I need a document format I have plenty of choices with broader support. That's not a criticism. I'm sure it's great. But people have different needs.
