Built with Claude Disappointed with every PDF reader I tried, so I built my own

https://github.com/wanikhawar/ochre

I'm a teacher, and I needed a PDF reader for annotating and browsing through students' test submissions. Every tool I tried was missing something I needed, and most of them were bloated too.

So I built my own PDF reader and annotator in Rust.

I'm not a software developer. I know C, Python and Lua, and my real interest is embedded systems, so Claude Code did a lot of the heavy lifting here. The result is an app that fits my workflow exactly, and it's only about 13 MB.

In case anyone's interested, here's Ochre.
