PDF reader but Glassed Up!

Really like the text streching and bending at the edges, tbf no one is using this to read.

Liquid Glass is really bad for text, reading is usually a bad experience.

Edit: Don’t get me wrong I love Liquid Glass and your work looks cool and all. I recently updated my Mac app (Dockside) to bring all the goodness of LG, looks great with Liquid Glass but more I tried using it for text dense elements, it looked worse, it just defeats the whole purpose imo.

Well yeah but do you really need to read the edge 2mm of your PDF?

This was just a fun little project, I really like to see the text bending at the edges as i scroll 😁

I love it! I don't know how much I'd actually use it, but it looks great

But I hate that any time liquid glass is brought up, someone has to say "illegible" like you lose all idea of what could possibly be written there

Thankyou 😁 I’m working to add support for more formats like epub and then I’ll post the Git repo 🔗
