custom stroke engine turns raw stylus samples into a smooth, variable-width ribbon that swells and tapers with pen pressure, so handwriting and sketches feel natural instead of like a flat marker.\n- **Live presentation streaming**: broadcast your canvas to any web browser on the same network in real time. Turn a tablet into a wireless whiteboard for the room, with nothing to install on the other end.\n- **Vector PDF, in and out**: drop in a PDF as a page background to annotate, then export your notes back to PDF as true vector: ink and text stay crisp at any zoom instead of being flattened to pixels.\n- **Razor-sharp deep zoom**: a background renderer redraws a high-resolution viewport off the main thread, so you can zoom far in and the ink stays sharp rather than turning blocky.\n- **Real highlighter blending**: highlighters are composited live every frame with a true multiply blend, so overlapping strokes deepen like real ink instead of painting over one another.\n- **Neon pen**: a glowing pen with a bright white core and saturated, luminous edges for accents that pop off the page.\n- **Smart PDF dark mode**: invert a PDF page for comfortable night reading while leaving embedded photos and images untouched.\n- **Nothing is ever flattened**: every stroke is stored as editable vector data in the open `.xnote` format, so you can re-select, move, restyle, or erase any mark at any time.\n- **Stylus-aware by design**: pen and finger are handled separately, so you can pan with a finger while you draw with the pen; on devices without a stylus, finger drawing turns on automatically.\n- **Private and open**: open source, no accounts, no telemetry. Files go through Android's Storage Access Framework, so the app needs no broad storage permission (network access exists only for the optional presentation server).\n\n## Install\n\n| Channel | |\n|---|---|\n| [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/shardulvs/xnotes-android/releases/latest) | Signed APK |\n| [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.xnotes) | Built reproducibly from source |\n\nBoth channels ship the same signed APK. F-Droid rebuilds from source and verifies it against the GitHub release, so you can switch between them without reinstalling.\n\n## Build from source\n\nRequires **JDK 17** (the project pins Java 17):\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/shardulvs/xnotes-android.git\ncd xnotes-android\nJAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk-17 ./gradlew assembleDebug\n```\n\nOutput: `app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk`\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fshardulvs%2Fxnotes-android","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fshardulvs%2Fxnotes-android","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fshardulvs%2Fxnotes-android/lists"}
