   Go-to solution for easy paper replacement

   Used my laptop, a small wacom tablet, and this program to replace all my engineering notes this semester. No more scanning to upload, re-drawing plots, re-writing equations, printing assignments, or heavy binder to carry around.

   🏁 Competitors: OneNote

   👍 Pros:    Export in pdf|Import pdf

• Book list for streetfighting computer scientists

  I've been using Xournalpp[1] for many years, highlighting books as I read them, adding in text/hand drawn annotations in whitespaces if necessary. Unlike other PDF readers/annotators, it saves a separate file, so the original PDF is untouched. It can also export the annotated PDF as a new PDF with highlights and annotations.

• Need an app like xournalpp which can take help me edit and insert Latex into Pdfs

  I recently was looking for a note making app for editing, marking, drawing over a pdf file and a helpful person suggested me xournalpp, though this is very helpful, I have to install 7GB s of Latex app to even start inserting Latex text on my pdf, is there an app which doesn't need me to install Latex app(7GB) and can still let me put in Latex text on my pdf like Obsidian does?
