rnote Rnote is an open-source vector-based drawing app for sketching, handwritten notes and to annotate documents and pictures. It is targeted at students, teachers and those who own a drawing tablet and provides features like Pdf and picture import and export, an infinite canvas and an adaptive UI for big and small screens.

thanks for this. I've been using xournal since 2006, and switched to xournal++ maybe 7 or 8 years ago. didn't think I would ever switch again. but rnote looks like it's good enough for me to make the switch.

strong defaults. most things did what I wanted without me having to configure anything. i configured xournal++ a lot
invert brightness!! i basically start a new file everytime I had to switch from dark to light with xournal++. with rnote I can just hit the invert colors button...
better handwry, zoom, drag, interface
