The killer app back then for me was Linux itself mostly because I enjoyed tinkering and configuring and I couldn't afford the machines I really wanted (something from SGI or Sun or Next).ĭespite all that, Linux may be the most successful OS out there. Off the top of my head, I just can't think of anything. ![]() What's an example of a desktop Linux application that is so good that somebody will setup or buy a Linux machine to run? I don't deny they exist, but it's been almost 15 years since I worked in Linux full time and when I did I mostly used cross-platform software. They are both amazing and should be 10x as expensive as they are. I bought an iPad and Pencil four years ago just to run GoodNotes and when I needed a better drawing app I found Procreate. ![]() The best platform examples for me are GoodNotes and Procreate. There's also a Patreon for Inkscape development IIRC. ![]() But if you could get most of the way toward what you want within a day.even though it wouldn't be perfect.would that be worth trying? So, if you want to wait for something to fit the spec to your inner-critic's liking, I guess that's one thing. You'd have multiple levels of zoom & pan workspaces there, since it will preview the PDFs as you zoom to their location. install and skim the Eagle Mode docs) for harnessing the powerful & more or less universal taxonomy of a filesystem. ![]() If you want your grid to be even more interesting, integrate Eagle Mode around it (i.e. Seems like you could get at least 75% of the way there in a single day using Inkscape as the drawing platform, depending on what else needs to happen with workflow (like scripting to add another page blank, which seems like it's less of an "Inkscape page" and more of a "rectangle I can write on & export as PDF", with the PDF export of a selected area doable as-is but maybe adding a specifically-sized rectangle where you want it is worth scripting) or tablet / writing operations.
