As someone who loves FoxIt reader, I'm building https://merrilin.ai https://merrilin.ai to be the best damned ebook reader out there, to support PDF and epub. FoxIt's annotation system is one of the best I've experienced and I want to design one that is just as good if not better.
- gabrieletrovato 4mo agoBuilding a robust annotation system for both PDF and EPUB is a tough technical challenge, but definitely needed. I've been working in a similar space and recently open-sourced it. It's a local-first 3D library for organizing and reading EPUBs and PDFs directly in the browser. It's called KoreShelf on Github
- majora2007 4mo agoI just released a pretty solid annotation system for Kavita's EPUB reader. It wasn't super challenging (although Kavita has a custom epub renderer). Now doing that with PDF would actually make it challenging.
