It's more convoluted than it needs to be but I've been using Tachiyomi to retrieve Manga and then send it to my iPad to read with Yacreader.

I do use a S23U and I surprisingly did like the default PenUP drawing app and how there's audio feedback that gives an additional feeling of texture to the drawing for that and Samsung Notes. S23U seems to make better use of the Spen than iPad does with the Apple Pencil. I use the smart select option all the time to do things like extract text. And wish iPad had an equivalent of one hand operation+ and edge panel.

I don't know I would change to a Samsung tablet though. Not because I greatly prefer the apps or OS on iPad, but because I feel more confident in long term support from them. If custom roms were around for Android tablets that had a spen quality stylus I'd switch in an instant knowing that when support stops I can move onto custom roms to use even longer. But until then I've been prioritizing updates for what is essentially a dedicated comic reader a majority of the time.

Procreate is really good. That is the one app I've been satisfied with.

Yeah, once the fediverse has had more opportunity to settle in and features like redirecting become available it would be cool to see communities move towards whatever instance is the best fit for the topic it fall into.

Like an instance that becomes a well known music instance, so becomes the automatic recommend for anyone looking to find a community for a specific genre or group. And a television instance that becomes the go to for any specific tv show based communities. A hobby instance where you can find like knitting or woodcarving.

Would be so much easier to find communities through topic based instances than the current random sprawl of communities.

Hidden bar looks awesome to clean up the menu bar.

I'll keep keka in mind for rar files.

Yeah, it seems like it has less development that even the photo viewing behavior in iOS. Like you can just navigate through the files app and open a Pic and just keep swiping right instead of running into this random limitation.

CotEditor looks kind of like Notepad++ which I love for when I just want a simple text editor that is a little more functional that the default text editor without launching visual studio code. Thanks for the recommendations.

Does Mac not cleanly uninstall programs? Is this needed for programs installed from the official Mac store too?

Respect for the conviction!

I ended up getting pixea from the recommendations which has been perfect.

This is perfect. Simple and does exactly what I wanted.
