Write is a handwriting app that works on a lot of platforms including Linux which cannot be said about most handwritten note-taking applications.
More information and demo: https://github.com/styluslabs/Write/
I’ve used it for uni on a Linux tablet/convertible and it worked really quite well and has some nice convenient features for note-taking.
The UI looks like it’s from android 4.something though ^^’
What I really appreciate about it is that its storage format are plain SVG(Z) which are extremely compatible. All you need to view your scribbles is an SVG viewer (i.e. a web browser) which basically every computer with a GUI has. Their website is in fact mostly just the output of their own app.
What licence did it use before?
Good question: https://github.com/styluslabs/Write/commits/master/LICENSE
Proprietary and closed source.
I always wondered why as they never sold it or had any kind of business model around it.
