How can we improve Goodnotes for Android, Windows, and Web?

(thinking…)

Stop developing for Windows as a Web app

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.

    I couldn't agree with this sentiment more.

    I don't know if it's just for beta data collection purposes, but a web-based app seems like a cheap, half-baked solution to me as an end user.
    For the final version, I would only use a real, full-fledged program (perhaps with an additional possible web use on the go or on third-party devices).
    But for my personal devices i want to have a real, installed, offline usable program without the need for external connections and resource usage from other programs.

    By the way, I had originally completely deactivated edge in the system because it was permanently active in the background. And sadly, just to be able to use GoodNotes at all, I had to reactivate it.

    Hi, I am hoping that the web app is simply a placeholder whilst they work on the windows app. If not, I would like to support the development of a native app for windows and android. (Current student studying Secondary Education). I hope to use the Windows app for myself, and recommend it to my future students/classes/schools.

    Completely agree, launching this app in PWA format will only make people look for other alternatives like OneNote, the writing experience is terrible, also it doesn't work offline which is very important in this kind of apps, I sincerely hope please correct this and consider creating a native app, otherwise I will not recommend anyone to use Goodnotes for Windows.
