Thank you so much for this detailed explanation! It's very clear and you're so good expressing yourself! And don't worry for your post accidentally being posted half-way, it happened to me too, in fact there's a deleted comment in this thread, for your same reason ๐Ÿ˜‚

Anyway, I definitely must try this tablet. I am skeptical as you were, but I must give it a shot since you've had such a nice and productive experience. I might find out a store where I can try it or, alternatively, I might ask a friend of mine, who likes to draw, because she maybe has a tablet like this (that you connect to the computer).

Thank you again for your suggestions!

In order to avoid to spam too much here, may I contact you privately?

Oh thank you for all the information you shared! I didn't know this company. So this is a tablet without a display. I never used one, it's difficult to start using it?

I've been given a quite old tablet pc (almost 10yo), it has its own display and hardware, just like the MS Surface, but from acer. It's very uncomfortable to use since it has only 32GB of storage space and it has a 32bit cpu; furthermore, it has no pen and the physical keyboard you can plug to it doesn't work anymore. A lot of flaws, right?

Despite this, Windows was decently optimized for this tablet, so it was in some way usable. Recently, I decided to give Linux a try in this tablet pc. I tried Zorin OS that has a slightly modified version of GNOME, and the touch experience (in gnome) was really bad, windows 10 GUI was a lot more optimized for that hardware. So my other question is: what distro do you use on your computer?

Having the tablet separeted from the computer is maybe a better choice. I don't know, maybe you could share your thoughts on this, I would really appreciate. Thanks!

Sorry for the off topic, what's the best device to use xournal++ in your opinion? MS Surface? I guess you have used some hand-written note taking apps before since you wrote this, so you're more experienced than me for sure!

Your answer and mine are complementary, they definitely complete each other! Well done!

No, it is slower than JS but it can be compiled to JS. The point of typescript is bringing static (or generally talking, predictable) types to variables, so that treating erroneously a number as a string should be more difficult. In a large codebase, it's easy to make mistakes and debugging is not instantaneous but it needs time. Typescript helps here. You write more code but it helps you out later

Just read its website and the related Wikipedia Article, it's kinda different but in a good way. I don't think I'll switch though because it's still based in Chromium, monopolized by Google.

Don't think many. Also because writing a browser from scratch (and make it usable) is a very very complex task

Even though Archive Team is unaffiliated with the Internet Archive, the way you access the archived content is still the Wayback Machine, part of the Internet Archive. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm trying it right now in my smartphone! The design looks better than Jerboa, now I'm testing intuitiveness and ease of use
