Last week, I improved Papers' code around link previews. You'll get in Papers upcoming release. Want me to tease what to get in 49? We were meeting, as we regularly do: So, at the same time, @FineFindus, sitting across from me … completely rewrote the thumbnailer … of course in Rust. All that, while [@pabloyoyoista]( ) worked on improvements for the context menu for annotations. (Based on @Tobias Bernard's¹ great mock-ups for it.) ¹ for clarity: not present #GNOME #GNOMEHH image
I just read it one too many times that Linux on Mobile should focus on this app, and not that … No. You do not bootstrap an ecosystem like a minimal viable product. The former we need, not the latter. We DO need multiple apps per category—for navigation, and messaging. And there is room for multiple multimedia players. Each and every one can serve an ever so slightly different use-case. And THIS is what makes an ecosystem lively, and not „technically having everything“. Let's create it together!
It has been three and a half months since I announced “I will make Papers – the soon-to-be default document viewer in GNOME – work on mobile, while improving the UI in general.” For that, I was granted a stipend by Google Open Source. And, I would say: I delivered on this promise—see for your self, with the next release of Papers. Now, my project is over (but I am here to stay), and if you want to read a bit more about what I did, I’ll humbly recommend my blog post:
