Since this project likely uses the same stack, I’m not sure what the selling point of a more limiting product is.
- philjohnson 7mo agoWell, if you aren't a developer you're not going install a PDF editor by going to GitHub, especially if having a desktop app means downloading the code yourself. Also, all of these you listed were created within the last 6 months, which is after when BreezePDF was initially created anyways. Lots of options out there, everyone can choose however they see fit!

- npilk 7mo agoJust for competitive reference, note that e.g. BentoPDF has a website as well, not just a GitHub repo: https://www.bentopdf.com/ https://www.bentopdf.com/
- philjohnson 7mo agoYes, but not a desktop app that doesn't require downloading the code from GitHub
