  1. It would be great if a tool could be created
    This is helpful when you make notes and want to add something afterwards, but the space is not available. So you can select everything that is below the place where you want to add something and move the selection down. If the page runs out, the content is not lost, but is visible on the next page. If there is already content on the next page, a page is optimally inserted in between so that no content is lost. Analogously, the other direction would be optimal, in which you can…

  2. It would be great if you could move the selection directly to a next page and the selection does not disappear "behind" the next page. This is helpful when you make notes and want to add something afterwards, but the space is not available. This way you can select everything that is below where you want to add something and move the selection down. If the page runs out of space, the content will not be lost, but will be visible on the next page. If there is already content on the next page, it is best to insert a…

  3. Making GoodNotes for Windows a Web app by simply dumping it through Swift to WASM immediately makes the app use significantly more resources and hinders the overall experience and battery life, causing pen inputs to have a significant delay and require online connectivity, etc. This kind of experience is NOT what you would want your users on an ipad to use, so why Windows?

    Like you did for iOS, please make GoodNotes for Windows a native Windows App instead of a PWA. This mess is NOT the path your team should be going down.

  5. Bonjour,
    Good Notes fonctionne actuellement sur MS Edge. C'est une très mauvaise idée, sur Windows vous avez plusieurs possibilités :
    - sous la forme d'un programme classique (mais problème de mise à jour)
    - sous le format UWP (avantage des mises à jour automatiques via le Microsoft Store et d'une bonne stabilité)
    - sous le format APK avec Windows Android Sub System (sur le long terme plus rentable mais peut rencontrer quelques ralentissements)

    Pour moi, le choix UWP est le plus adapté. Avec MS Edge, en absence de connexion internet, il est impossible de faire une prise de note.
    Par…

  6. I am using a surface go and it has a small screen about the size of a piece of paper. When I take handwritten notes I rotate the tablet and it turns the computer into tablet mode. In tablet mode, the section on the left, which displays the pages, is much too big and hides a good portion of the page. In landscape mode, laptop mode, I can see the full width of the page. I think the issue could be solved by minimizing this feature.

  7. For example, if you cross a handwritten word out, it deletes it automatically. Underlining words creates a headline. Or if you draw a star, it marks the position. This feature already exists in Microsoft Journal.

  8. When I'm writing on my convertible laptop with a pen I can't change the setting of the pressure. I would like to have the option to disable it so all of my letters would be the same thickness.

  10. Currently, only making/replying comment can be done

    deleting/editing cannot be done, and cannot move comment's position anchoring the page.

  11. Hello dear developers,
    I always work with different templates.
    When I work with the black template, I always have to laboriously switch the pen colors.
    Is it not possible to save the pen colors together with the worksheet?

    Furthermore, more sheet colors would be nice, e.g. gray, red and green.
    I am aware that I could create my own templates. But most of the time the grid does not fit.
    Why not do it the same way as with the pens, that the background color can also be chosen from a color table?
    Many greetings Ernst

  14. That button is in the context of: Page Editing > PAge sidebar > Page Menu > Button "Erase Page"

    The current translation is: ลบหน้า
    which is repeated with the another translation of button "delete page" exists in the same location as the "erase page" button

    The fixed translation is "ล้างหน้า"

  16. Using stamps/emojis would be nice, along with having an option to use dot points to make note taking easier. A ruler would be a must have for myself as I like to structure my page a certain way when studying. Maybe adding a stabiliser tool to make lines stiffer when writing.

  17. Switching between dark background/light pen to light background/dark pen when changing between Night and Day mode. OneNote has a similar function and it saves my eyes when taking notes

  19. I think it would be extremely beneficial to the GoodNotes app if a feature were available to upload animated pictures or files to the app. Majority of people who use GoodNotes are students and having this feature available would make more people/students want to use this app rather than other note taking apps. I have already considered looking into other apps considering GoodNotes doesnt allow this feature. I have found myself wanting this feature way too many times along with other students. I think this would make the app 10 times better.

  20. I selected A3 checkered paper and it kind of bugged. The lining on one part of the paper is more light than the other and it's laggy.
