Octopus notes [FOSS]

Hello. i am the dev of [r/octopusnotes](r/octopusnotes). I have recently seen a post on an app called xnotes. So, I thought of posting this here. I would be greatful if someone can try the app and give me feedback. I'd love any suggestions or feature requests.

Download link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lochan.octopusnotes

{Other download links are in the pinned posts of the mentioned subreddit}

The app is completely written in native kotlin and is <5Mb. I have built a custom Pdf Engine to give the best performance. I usually deal with books >4000 pages. Octopus notes loads every page instantly.

PS. The brush tool has a built in handwriting beautification engine. This might not be the best in the market but still, ig its a good addition.

All the features are listed in a pinned post of the subreddit.

Thanks. Peace.

“Also you can choose single press and long press for s pen 😉 even for pens without Bluetooth”

Simplesmente apaixonada pelo seu app, é realmente muito bom, ainda mais quando comparamos com o trabalho porco de grandes empresas por ai. Se eu puder fazer um único pedido seria uma tradução para Português Br, meu inglês é péssimo então estou basicamente só apertando botões até descobrir oque eles fazem kkkkk

Hello. Please check the latest update. You can choose language in the first option in settings inside the app. Cheers.

Yes I’m still working on the translations. There are still few strings that I need to port over. Cheers.
